Abstract
A method for generating an automated test configured to test a system under test. The system under test includes a plurality of operational states and executable actions. The method includes: providing a model of the system under test, the model including a plurality of model states and selectable model actions, wherein one or more of the model states are representative of operational states of the system under test and each model action is associated with one or more executable actions on the system under test; and generating an automated test. The automated test is generated by selecting a sequence of model actions; and defining, based on the selected sequence of model actions, an automated test configured to execute a sequence of executable actions on the system under test. The selection of model actions is dependent upon the previous selection of model actions in the current and/or previous automated tests.
