Model-Based Test Code Generation


MISTA: Model-based Integration and System Test Automation (a.k.a. ISTA) -- It is being used by industry!

Free! MISTA v1.0 Beta with manuals and examples. Bug reports and requests for feature enhancement are welcome!

MISTA is a tool for generating executable tests from a model-implementation description (MID), which consists of a test model, model-implementation mapping (MIM), and helper code.

MISTA can be used for function testing, acceptance testing, GUI testing, security testing, and programmer testing.
