SPL-AT Gherkin: A Gherkin Extension for Feature Oriented Testing of Software Product Lines

摘要

As cloud platforms turn into software product lines (SPLs), testing products composed of customer selected features becomes more and more important. In this paper, we propose a feature-oriented testing approach for platform-based SPLs through a novel extension to Gherkin called SPL-AT Gherkin and a novel automatic test method generation technique, which utilizes TestNG framework. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach by a case study.
