The usage of personas, fictional representations of user archetypes, during the initial stages of requirements elicitation has yielded significant improvements in mitigating assumption bias, stemming from the development engineers’ preconceptions about end users that frequently do not accurately reflect the actual needs of those users. This paper explores how personas can be used to support automated testing workflows, bridging the gap between higher-level conceptualizations and code. Although personas are commonly used in requirements engineering and during software development processes, they are rarely used for model-based testing. Our approach uses personas in automated testing to construct a software solution that is capable of validating system requirements captured in personas. We propose a domain-specific language capable of encompassing the high-level requirements of a target system through scenarios, flows, and execution plans, and we generate the test suite infrastructure, which features test scenario skeletons. Although these skeletons require handwritten code to perform the execution steps, this process may be further automated to produce executable source code with minimal human intervention.
