The MATERA toolset is used to provide support for the MATERA approach by integrating UML modelling and requirements traceability with several tools used across a custom MBT process. The GUI of MATERA is implemented as a plug-in in the NoMagic's MagicDraw modelling tool, combining existing capabilities of MagicDraw with custom ones. MATERA supports graphical specification of the requirements using SysML and tracing of these requirements to the UML models specifying the SUT. Model validation is performed in MagicDraw using both predefined as well as custom validation rules. The resulting models are automatically transformed into input for the Conformiq Qtronic tool, used for automated test generation. Upon executing the test scripts generated by Qtronic in the Nethawk's East execution environment, statistic analysis of the test run is presented in the GUI. The back-traceability of the covered requirements from test to models is also provided in the GUI in order to facilitate the identification of the source of possible errors in the models.
