Is Manual Test Case Writing Faster Than Modeling?

Over the years I have been wondering why folks involved in testing are not more eager to adopt practices that we have shown numerous times to be superior to current practices. Let’s face it, making sure that all the interesting scenarios and corner cases have properly, effectively, and efficiently been tested is not an easy task. In fact, the ...

MBT in the Automotive Industry: A Deep Dive

The automotive industry is constantly facing the significant challenge of releasing cars with no software defects. It goes without saying that a software fault in the braking system, in the traction control system or in the assisted steering system can be catastrophic, while problems in non safety critical components may “only” annoy the user, yet ...

Conformiq’s Kalyan Talluri Speaks at WCNGT

SAN JOSE, CA. May 5, 2016. Conformiq, which is transforming software testing with the most sophisticated and comprehensive automated test design solution in the industry, will participate in the World Conference Next Generation Testing (WCNGT 2016). This year’s theme is “Test Automation, Continuous Testing & DevOps, Test Leadership, QA in ...

Conformiq Test Generation Technology Insights

Quite often when people talk about MBT (Model Based Testing) they intuitively assume that model is always something with “boxes and arrows”; that is the model in MBT needs to be graphical and it is constructed out of some kind of nodes or vertices which are then connected using arrows of some sort. To some, model may simply mean a state chart or ...

Conformiq Transformer: Automated Test Execution

We all know the power of test automation and model-based testing (MBT). But has your traditional test automation approach lived up to its promise? Do you spend 70% of your time in test execution? Do you use a variety of software development lifecycle (SDLC) tools? Do you have legacy test and manual tests you want to use, along ...

MBT’s Role in Internationalizing Your Product

We live today in a world where we can quickly establish a call from our computer to people living on the opposite side of the world. Our applications can be used anywhere, even in places we have never heard of! With the 21th century, we entered an era of big challenges around internationalization of products. How can tests deal with so many ...

Demanding 100% Functional Coverage

Are you doing functional testing, and facing these challenges? Does your product have to get to market faster? Is its complexity increasing in every release? Are your release cycles getting even shorter? Do you need to reduce testing costs? If you are facing any, or all, of these challenges, you are reading the right ...

Automate Everything: Transform Your Testing

Probably every test manager dreams of a world where test scripts work the first time, where tests and test scripts are maintained automatically, and where our test team spends their time on finding faults and going deeper in the system rather than redoing the same tests again and again because of changes in the specification. A dream where every ...

Extending Conformiq MBT Beyond Functional Testing

Conformiq is a technology provider for advanced Model Based Test (MBT) automation. At the heart of this capability is our engine which automatically generates functional test cases from a model of the system you are testing. The technology assumes no implementation details of the system and we validate whether the given system conforms to its ...

System Modeling vs. Test Modeling: Complexity

Creating a system model – a model that directly describes the intended system behavior – is “easier” than creating tester models – models that describe the testing strategies themselves. This position has been demonstrated both within practical and theoretical frameworks. This correlates well with day-to-day observations of test managers: ...

Why One Testing Design Method Isn’t Enough

Every now and then Conformiq Designer and Creator are compared against other testing tools that employ one type of test design heuristic, for example a combinatorial testing tool for generating optimized pair-wise test data. The capability of generating such combinatorial data combinations is one testing method that in practice has been observed ...
