Software testing automation is one of the most challenging activities in Software Engineering scenarios. Moden-Based Testing (MBT) is a feasible strategy to alleviate efforts on automating testing activities. Trough a model that specifies the behavior of the Software Under Testing (SUT), MBT approaches are useful strategies to generate test cases and run them. However, some domains such as, web applications require extra efforts on applying MBT approaches. Due to this, in this study we propose and validate Teasy a Domain Specification Language (DSL) that makes MBT feasible for web application. Through the conduction of a Proof-of-Concept on testing a real-world web application, we noticed Teasy has potential to evolve to effectively support software development environments. Using a real-world application and projects with manually seeded faults, Teasy testing scenarios have detected 78,57% of the functional inconsistencies.
