Abstract
This chapter is an introduction to the theory, techniques, and tool support for automatic test-case generation. We discuss how test models can be generated, for instance, from requirements specifications, and present different criteria and strategies for generating and selecting test cases from these models. The Target tool is presented and used in this the chapter for illustrating test-case generation techniques along with a case study in the domain of mobile-phone applications. Target generates abstract test cases from use-case specifications presented as templates whose contents are described using a controlled natural language.
