  • Test Model Abstraction For Testability in Product Line Engineering
    Publication number: 20100293018
    Abstract: Product line engineering testing is provided by segmenting a workflow into variable and common activity areas. A workflow decision node can be generated to isolate the segmented variable area, and a stub activity is generated and substituted into the workflow in place of the segmented variable activities. The stub activity can be configured to generate valid output for the substituted variable activities, and can be configured for black-box, gray-box, and white-box behavior.
