             abstract = "The software in satellite applications has become increasingly 
                         larger, more complex and more integrated, so its verification and 
                         validation require exploration of new approaches. In this paper we 
                         present a Model-Based Testing (MBT) approach applied to the 
                         Communication Module of the ITASAT-1 university satellite. The 
                         models are Finite State Machines (FSM) representing the software 
                         behavior. In order to manage the difficulties to model the 
                         software behavior the approach employs the Conformance and Fault 
                         Injection (CoFI) testing methodology associated with the 
                         JPlavisFSM tool in the real context of a satellite's critical 
                         software. The former advises the modularization of the modelling 
                         into different types of behavior into different FSMs, while the 
                         latter integrates several FSM-based methods to derive test cases, 
                         provides facilities to design and to check properties of the 
                         models and computes metrics. The main result of this case study 
                         was the evaluation of the drawbacks on the design of the testing 
                         models supported by CoFI and JPlavisFSM. The models, test sets, 
                         metrics with the application of our approach applied to the 
                         Communication Module are presented. The paper discusses the 
                         benefits as well as the points requiring new researches.",
