As illustrated in the following figure, modelModel-based testing moves testing to the left side of the Vs, by testing executable requirements, architecture, and design models. This shift enablesbegins testing to begin almost immediately, instead of waiting a long time (traditional testing), medium time (incremental testing), or a short time (Agile/DevOps) untilfor software onto become available to the right side of the Vs. is available to test. This trend is just beginning.
