Features and behaviours mapping in model-based testing in software product line

Abstract

Testing in Software Product Line (SPL) is very hard task due to the high degree of variability that existed in products. Nowadays, many testing approaches have concern on reusability of technique. Feature Model (FM) is used to represent variability and commonality of products in SPL. The components of FM that represented as symbols caused the needs of mapping with other models to represent their semantics. In this paper, there are concise definitions that relates with mapping approaches between FM and behaviour model. Model definitions presented in our algorithms is used for automation mapping process based on traceability link created. The advanced query mechanism proposed to automate the process of mapping between models. Based on the experimental result, it shows that our proposed algorithm can help tester in automate searches for accurate mapping of features and requirements.
