Abstract

Multi-modal test execution allows execution of the same test against various layers of a software system, e.g. the GUI layer, the web service layer and the business logic layer. Multi-modal test execution helps with identifying the location of software bugs during debugging and maintenance as well as in tracking the progress of the development effort. This paper presents a method that effectively encodes multi-modal functional tests without creating large test maintenance overhead. Our approach extends the Fit table specification structure by multi-modal fixtures and presents the results of test execution in a way to help with debugging and progress reporting.
