ATLTest: a white-box test generation approach for ATL transformations

MDE is being applied to the development of increasingly complex systems that require larger model transformations. Given that the specification of such transformations is an error-prone task, techniques to guarantee their quality must be provided. Testing is a well-known technique for finding errors in programs. In this sense, adoption of testing techniques in the model transformation domain would be helpful to improve their quality. So far, testing of model transformations has focused on black-box testing techniques. Instead, in this paper we provide a white-box test model generation approach for ATL model transformations.
