The fourth edition of the European Conference on Model-Driven Architecture - Foundations and Applications (ECMDA-FA 2008) was dedicated to furthering the state of knowledge and fostering the industrialization of the model-driven architecture (MDA) methodology. MDA is an initiative proposed by the - ject Management Group (OMG) for platform-generic software development. It promotes the use of models in the speci?cation, design, analysis, synthesis, - ployment, and evolution of complex software systems. ECMDA-FA 2008 focused on engaging key European and international - searchers and...

This book explores model-based testing from a number of different perspectives. Combining various aspects of embedded systems and software--and their how they are applied--it covers theory and practice concerning the test specification and validation of complex software-intensive embedded systems. Model-based testing refers to software testing in which test cases are either wholly or partially derived from a model, illustrating selected aspects of a system under test. Detailed examples from industry provide solutions that are applicable in real-world testing practices. The text provides a...
