Requirements interaction management (RIM) is the set of activities directed toward the
discovery, management, and disposition of critical relationships among sets of requirements …

This extensively classroom-tested text takes an innovative approach to explaining software
testing that defines it as the process of applying a few precise, general-purpose criteria to a …

This article describes a formal analysis technique, called consistency checking, for
automatic detection of errors, such as type errors, nondeterminism, missing cases, and …

Formal specifications have been a focus of software engineering research for many years
and have been applied in a wide variety of settings. Their industrial use is still limited but has …

A number of notations exist by which a designer can specify the behavior of a human-
computer interface in relatively formal terms. In this paper we show how many of the …

Although the majority of software testing in industry is conducted at the system level, most
formal research has focused on the unit level. As a result, most system‐level testing …

We apply a model checker to the problem of test generation using a new application of
mutation analysis. We define syntactic operators, each of which produces a slight variation …

This chapter presents principles and techniques for model-based black-box conformance
testing of real-time systems using the Uppaal model-checking tool-suite. The basis for …

We present a framework that supports the formal verification of early requirements
specifications. The framework is based on Formal Tropos, a specification language that …

This article introduces the concept of multi-valued model-checking and describes a multi-
valued symbolic model-checker, ΧChek. Multi-valued model-checking is a generalization of …
