Abstract
System software is a type of computer program that is designed to run on a computer hardware, such as server, storage or network devices. Some of the examples of system software are operating system, firmware, device drivers, management software etc. To ensure high level of quality of these system software, only functional and non-functional testing (reliability, compatibility, performance and scalability) may not be sufficient. To uncover errors in the system software that can only occur in certain conditions and situation, a scenario based test model should be derived based on underlying hardware configurations, state of the hardware, user actions being performed on it, etc. The present solution is a method for designing optimal test model considering multi-dimensional aspects. As an example, three dimensions are considered to describe the concept in this paper.
