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 …

In software development, testers often focus on functional testing to validate implemented
programs against their specifications. In safety-critical software development, testers are …

One of the requirements of Modified Condition and Decision Coverage (MCDC) is that test
cases should be selected to demonstrate that a condition can independently affect the …

There are times when it is not practical to hand-script automated tests for an existing system
before one starts to modify it (whether to refactor it to permit automated testing or to add new …

We present a method for automatically generating test sequences to satisfy MC/DC like
structural coverage criteria of software behavioral models specified in state-based …

Combinatorial testing in VDM involves the automatic generation and execution of a large
collection of test cases derived from templates provided in the form of trace definitions added …

Testing is an essential, but time and resource consuming activity in the software
development process. In the case of model-based development, among other subtasks test …

To detect a fault in software, a test case execution must enable an intermediate error to
propagate to the output. We describe two specification-based mutation testing methods that …

Verification is applied to software as a proof method with respect to its requirements.
Software testing is necessary because verification is often infeasible. Automation is …

Mutation analysis is a fault-based testing technique that uses mutation operators to
introduce small changes into a program or specification, producing mutants, and then …
