Spec Explorer

Spec Explorer^[1] is a Model-Based Testing (MBT^[2][3]) tool from Microsoft. It extends the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment with the ability to define a model describing the expected behavior of a software system. From these models, the tool can generate tests automatically for execution within Visual Studio's own testing framework, or many other unit testing frameworks.
