Why MBTsuite Next makes the difference

In many software projects, test cases arise ad hoc – from requirements, meetings, or experience. What is often missing is a clear test strategy that everyone can understand.

MBTsuite Next brings structure to this process. The platform enables model-based testing (MBT) where it counts: in the agile everyday work of teams that want to ensure quality efficiently, transparently, and sustainably.

Model instead of individual tests – structured test quality

Model-based testing begins with a model that describes the system behavior: states, transitions, inputs – in other words, exactly what is to be tested later.

The advantages

  • Test cases are generated automatically
  • Changes to requirements lead directly to new, appropriate tests
  • The model is understandable for everyone – even non-technical staff

This creates a common understanding of what is being tested and why – the basis for targeted collaboration.

Success stories from practice

An OEM supplier had to test six nearly identical control unit variants—with enormous effort. With MBTsuite Next and modeled variant logic, differences were specifically identified and appropriate tests were generated. Result: over 30% less testing effort.

An agile team developed a login module with password, SSO, 2FA, and recovery. The model allowed requirements to be flexibly adapted and new tests to be generated automatically – with continuous coverage and no redundant tests.

MBTsuite Next – made for real teams

MBTsuite Next is developed with practical application in mind and is completely web-based, meaning no installation is required.

Features at a glance:

  • Collaborate on models with comments and reviews
  • Export to established formats: BDD, JUnit, Robot Framework
  • Seamless integration with Jira, Azure DevOps, GitLab, Jenkins, and many more
  • Support for REST, UI, and protocol tests
  • Role concepts, versioning, and coverage metrics for maximum control

Does MBT fit into agile processes? Absolutely.

MBTsuite Next allows incremental test design, with the model growing with each sprint.

Requirements are modeled and validated early on, before the first line of code is written.

Regression tests? They run automatically and specifically with each release.

Model-based testing thus becomes a strategic component of agile development.

Quick start: Even without prior MBT experience

With MBTsuite Next, you can get started quickly and confidently:

  • Guided tutorials and model templates
  • Wizards for common test strategies
  • Personal onboarding by experienced consultants

Goal: Be productive after a maximum of five days with a tool that creates clarity, not complexity.

When is MBTsuite Next worth it?

If you answer yes to these questions, MBTsuite Next is worth considering:

  • Many variants or frequent changes to requirements?
  • High effort involved in regression testing?
  • Automation difficult to structure?
  • Distributed teams or multiple locations?
  • Unclear or changing requirements?

Conclusion: Modeling is not an add-on, but the better way

MBTsuite Next makes test quality predictable, scalable, and understandable.

Not as a replacement for agile testing, but as a strategic advancement.

Now is the right time to rethink testing.
