An extension of TRIANGLE testbed with model-based testing

Abstract

Traditional testing methods for mobile apps focus on detecting execution errors. However, the evolution of mobile networks towards 5G will require additional support for app developers to ensure also the performance and user-experience. Manual testing in a number of scenarios is not enough to satisfy the expectations of the apps final users. This paper presents the testing framework developed in the TRIANGLE project1 that integrates a complete mobile network testbed and a model-based testing approach, which is based on model checking, to automatically evaluate the apps performance in different network scenarios.
