A Tool-Based Methodology for System Testing of Service-Oriented Systems

We present a tool environment and its underlying principles for Telling TestStories, an approach to model-driven system testing of service-oriented systems. Telling TestStories is based on tightly integrated platform-independent system and test models. The approach is capable of test-driven development on the model level, and guarantees high quality system and test models by checking consistency and coverage. Additionally, Telling TestStories provides full traceability between the requirements, the system and test models, and the executable services of the system. The tool environment supports these features in an integrated and clear way.
