In develo** distributed systems, current trends are towards creating open distributed
environments supporting interworking, interoperability, and portability, in spite of …

In this paper we give an introduction to methods and tools for testing communication
protocols and distributed systems. In this context, we try to answer the following questions …

With the emergence of new models, architectures and middleware such as ODP, TINA and
CORBA, for develo** open distributed systems, testing technology requires adaptation for …

Stabilizing network infrastructures has moved the focus of software system engineering to
the development of distributed applications running on top of the network. The complexity of …

This paper deals with testing distributed software systems. In the past, two important
problems have been determined for executing tests using a distributed test architecture …

The paper presents some technical issues for testing distributed frameworks with rules
based Agent System. The proposed approach consists firstly on exploring the benefits of …

We propose an extension of the Finite State Machine framework in distributed systems,
using input/output partial order automata (IOPOA). In this model, transitions can be executed …

Conformance testing may be seen as mean to execute an IUT (implementation under test)
by carrying out test cases in order to observe whether the behavior of the IUT is conforming …

The objective of testing is to determine whether a system under test conforms to its
specification. In distributed test architectures that utilize remote testers, this objective can be …

Controllability and observability problems may manifest themselves during the application of
a test or checking sequence in a test architecture where there are multiple remote testers …
