Abstract (EN): This paper presents a tool to filter/configure the test cases generated within the Model-Based Testing project PBGT. The models are written in a Domain Specific Language called PARADIGM and are composed by User Interface Test Patterns (UITP) describing the testing goals. To generate test cases, the tester has to provide test input data for each UITP in the model. After that, it is possible to generate test cases. However, without a filter/configuration of the test case generation algorithm, the number of test cases can be so huge that becomes unfeasible. So, this paper presents an approach to define parameters for the test case generation in order to generate a feasible number of test cases. The approach is evaluated by comparing the different test strategies and measuring the performance of the modeling tool against a capture-replay tool used for web testing.
