Present and future trends for software include progressively complex requirements on interaction between systems. Because of this, the difficulty of system testing increases. Model based testing is a test technique in which test cases are generated from a model of the system. In this particular research we investigate model-based testing on the system-level, beginning with early development. We apply model-based testing to a subsystem of a message gateway product to be able to increase early fault detection. According to our experiences, we present some challenges and strategies for system-level, model-based testing. Early results reveal that model-based testing considerably improves the number of faults detected during system testing….
