Model dressing for automated exploratory testing

Automation of software testing is a complex problem with multiple facets to be handled in sync to be viable. In this work we propose two novel concepts; model dressing for automated exploratory testing. Model dressing maps an application under test to a model created for the domain of the application. In its simplest form, the domain model defines the business tasks as well as the user actions that can be carried out from the perspective of the end-user. Automated exploratory testing leverages the domain knowledge as well as the experience gained from testing applications in the same domain to test another application.
