This paper describes a systematic review performed on model-based testing (MBT)
approaches. A selection criterion was used to narrow the initially identified four hundred and …

Formal methods and testing are two important approaches that assist in the development of
high-quality software. While traditionally these approaches have been seen as rivals, in …

We consider the following clustering problem: we have a complete graph on n vertices
(items), where each edge (u, v) is labeled either+ or− depending on whether u and v have …

Modern software systems, which often are concurrent and manipulate complex data
structures must be extremely reliable. We present a novel framework based on symbolic …

We show how model checking and symbolic execution can be used to generate test inputs
to achieve structural coverage of code that manipulates complex data structures. We focus …

Use cases are believed to be a good basis for system testing. Yet, to automate the test
generation process, there is a large gap to bridge between high-level use cases and …

We describe an approach to testing complex safety critical software that combines unit-level
symbolic execution and system-level concrete execution for generating test cases that …

One of the distinguishing characteristics of software systems is that they evolve: new patches
are committed to software repositories and new versions are released to users on a …

Symbolic execution is a well-known program analysis technique which represents program
inputs with symbolic values instead of concrete, initialized, data and executes the program …

About a decade after the initial proposal to use model checkers for the generation of test
cases we take a look at the results in this field of research. Model checkers are formal …
