  ABSTRACT = {Self-adaptive software systems (SASS) are equipped with
  feedback loops to adapt autonomously to changes of the software
  or environment. In established fields, such as embedded software,
  sophisticated approaches have been developed to systematically
  study feedback loops early during the development. In order to
  cover the particularities of feedback, techniques like one-way and
  in-the-loop simulation and testing have been included. However, a
  related approach to systematically test SASS is currently lacking. In
  this paper we therefore propose a systematic testing scheme for
  SASS that allows engineers to test the feedback loops early in the
  development by exploiting architectural runtime models. These models
  that are available early in the development are commonly used by the
  activities of a feedback loop at runtime and they provide a suitable
  high-level abstraction to describe test inputs as well as expected
  test results. We further outline our ideas with some initial evaluation
  results by means of a small case study.}
