A Method for Testing Model to Text Transformations

Model Transformations are the core of Model Driven Development; hence for generating high quality artifacts we need methods able to assure the quality of model transformations. In this work, we focus on Model to Text Transformations and propose a method, composed by a set of integrated approaches and a series of guidelines, for testing model transformations. We classify the test approaches composing our method relying on the intent on which they are carried out. Moreover, to select input models used to build test cases, we propose a definition of adequacy criteria and coverage.
