  text: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The specification of requirements
    and tests are crucial activities in automotive development projects. However,
    due to the increasing complexity of automotive systems, practitioners fail to
    specify requirements and tests for distributed and evolving systems with complex
    interactions when following traditional development processes. To address this
    research gap, we propose a technique that starts with the early identification
    of validation concerns from a stakeholder perspective, which we use to systematically
    design tests that drive a scenario‐based modeling and analysis of system requirements.
    To ensure complete and consistent requirements and test specifications in a form
    that is required in automotive development projects, we develop a Model‐Based
    Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodology. This methodology supports system architects
    and test designers in the collaborative application of our technique and in maintaining
    a central system model, in order to automatically derive the required specifications.
    We evaluate our methodology by applying it at KOSTAL (Tier1 supplier) and within
    student projects as part of the masters program Embedded Systems Engineering.
    Our study corroborates that our methodology is applicable and improves existing
    requirements and test specification processes by supporting the integrated and
    stakeholder‐focused modeling of product and validation systems, where the early
    definition of stakeholder and validation concerns fosters a problem‐oriented,
    iterative and test‐driven requirements modeling.</jats:p>
