In order to generate test cases automatically, developers first define the dynamic behavior of their components via UML Statecharts, specify the interactions amongst them and finally annotate them with test requirements. Test cases are then derived from these annotated Statecharts using our test generation engine and executed with the help of our test execution tool. The latter tool was developed specifically for interfacing to components based on COM/DCOM and CORBA middleware.In this paper, we present our approach to modeling components and their interactions, describe how test cases are derived from these component models and then executed to verify their conformant behavior. We outline the implementation strategy of our TnT environment and use it to evaluate our approach by means of a simple example. %@ 1-58113-266-2
