ABSTRACT
This paper presents PLUTO, a simple and intuitive methodology to manage the testing process of product lines, described as Product Lines Use Cases (PLUCs). PLUCs are an extension of the well-known Cockburn's Use Cases, a notation based on natural language descriptions of requirements. The proposed test methodology is based on the Category Partition method, and can be used to derive a generic Test Specification for the product line, and a set of relevant test scenarios for a customer specific application.

Constructing test cases for n-wise testing from tree-based test models
SoICT '13: Proceedings of the 4th Symposium on Information and Communication TechnologyIn our previous work [17], we proposed a model-based combinatorial testing method, called FOT. It provides a technique to design test-models for combinatorial testing based on extended logic trees. In this paper, we introduce pair-wise testing (and by ...
