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 …

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 …

Testing involves examining the behaviour of a system in order to discover potential faults.
Given an input for a system, the challenge of distinguishing the corresponding desired …

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 …

What the experts have to say about Model-Based Testing for Embedded Systems:" This
book is exactly what is needed at the exact right time in this fast-growing area. From its …

Pseudo-exhaustive testing uses the empirical observation that, for broad classes of software,
a fault is likely triggered by only a few variables interacting. The method takes advantage of …

It is well-known that counterexamples produced by model checkers can provide a basis for
automated generation of test cases. However when this approach is used to meet a …

Testing has a vital support role in the software engineering process, but develo** tests
often takes significant resources. A formal specification is a repository of knowledge about a …

User-session-based testing of web applications gathers user sessions to create and
continually update test suites based on real user input in the field. To support this approach …

In this paper we describe two experiments in the verification of software standard
conformance. In our experiments, we use a model-based test generator to create a test suite …
