Last time, we looked at how the MBT Workbench assists the user in deriving an input mapping from a service definition. This time, we will look at what input mappings look like and how they can be created inside the MBT Workbench, and we’ll also take a look at how the entire meta-model is implemented. […]

Generic Data-types for User-interfaces
I’m playing around making an application for model-based testing. It’s a standard GUI application, so of course, I am relying on the model-view-controller design pattern for the overall structure.

If you’re familiar with it, it’s similar to the synchronized keyword except on the database level. It also is if you’re not familiar with synchronized.

A simple interface to the user may support many usage scenarios and many error scenarios. Here I’ll make a case for not bothering with trying to figure out these […]
