Model-Based Testing (MBT) relies on models of a System Under Test (SUT) to derive test cases for said system. While Finite State Machine (FSM), workflow, etc. are widely used to derive test cases for WIMP applications (i.e. applications depending on 2D widgets such as menus and icons), these notations lack the ex-pressive power to describe the interaction techniques and behaviors found in post-WIMP applications. In this paper, we aim at demonstrating that thanks to ICO, a formal notation for describing interactive systems, it is possible to gener-ate test cases that go beyond the state of the art by addressing the MBT of ad-vanced interaction techniques in post-WIMP applications.
