Testing with ASML

  • Artikel

ASML - Abstract State Machine Language is a technique being used in Microsoft by a few test teams to test their features. It is an executable specification language that is based on abstract state machines. The research team at Microsoft has integrated this into Word and VS.NET and made the language interoperable with other .NET languages. You can compare the model with the implementation side-by-side to verify the implementation in terms of input/output or state transitions at each step. I had attended a talk on it 1.5 years back, and they didnt have test tools at the time. Now they also have test tools that help you generate tests by doing paramter generation and different test sequences from your model. This is great for testers, I have got to get on the bandwagon and see if it can do something for me. Planning on using it for a feature in Indigo I am going to be responsible for testing in March.
