Towards Model-based Acceptance Testing for Scrum

Abstract

In agile processes like Scrum, strong customer involvement requires techniques to support requirements analysis and acceptance testing. Additionally, test automation is crucial, as incremental development and continuous integration need high efforts for testing. To cope with these challenges, we propose a model-based technique for documenting customer’s requirements using test models. These can be used by the developers as requirements specification and by the testers for acceptance testing. We use light-weight and easy-to-learn modeling languages. Based on the test models, we generate test scripts for FitNesse and Selenium, which are well-known test tools in the agile community.
