The Unified Process (UP) is a software development tech- nique that includes modeling of specifications and testing workflow. This workflow is achieved by information interpretation of specification to pro- duce manual tests. In this paper, we extend the UP with model-based testing (MBT) where models resulting of the UP will be used for MBT. We describe how model-based testing introduces new test design activi- ties in parallel with the application design activities. We give guidelines to derive the test model from the analysis model produced by the UP. We illustrate this tailored process with the example of a Geneva State taxation.
