A Model-Based Approach for RFID Application Testing

A new approach for testing Radio Frequency Identification applications is presented in this paper. Therefore, a set based semantics is introduced to describe RFID applications. The approach uses UML to model the characteristics of the system under test. The combination of three different model-types, which consist of a Domain Model, a Movement Model and Process Models, allows for the extraction of test cases and the evaluation of functional aspects of the application under test. This model-based test approach is validated on an example case study, of processes in a retail clothing shop.
