Abstract
This paper presents a modeling environment (ME) developed for a Domain Specific Language (PARADIGM) which aims to support the construction of models to be used in the context of Model Based GUI Testing (MBGT). It starts by briefly presenting PARADIGM which aims to increase the level of abstraction of the models and promote reuse in order to diminish the effort in building models for MBGT. Afterwards, it describes the architecture of the ME, how the constraints of the language are enforced within the ME to ensure the consistency of the models built, the test case configuration of the model elements, the test case generation algorithm and how the ME can be extended/adapted to include additional features.

Abstract
User Interface (UI) patterns are used extensively in the design of today's software. UI patterns embody commonly recurring solutions that solve common GUI design problems, such as "login," "file-open," and "search." Yet, testing of GUIs for functional correctness has largely ignored UI patterns. This paper formalizes the notion of a Pattern-Based Graphical User Interface (GUI) Testing method (PBGT) for systematizing and automating the GUI testing process. The space of all possible interactions with a GUI is typically very large. PBGT presents a new methodology to sample the input space using " UI Test Patterns," that embody commonly recurring solutions to test GUIs. Our empirical studies show that the PBGT methodology is effective in revealing faults in fielded GUIs.

Abstract
Considering the global competitiveness the organizations ability to effectively use information technologies and bet on innovation and creativity are today commonly recognized as important. In this context, research on creativity in information systems has assumed special importance. This paper illustrates the use of Action-Research Method "in research in Information Systems and Creativity, particularized in Information Systems Planning, reflecting on the advantages of using this method in this context.
