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 explain the main ingredients of the Abstract State Machines (ASM) method for high-level
system design and analysis and survey some of its application highlights in industrial …

Testing involves examining the behaviour of a system in order to discover potential faults.
Determining the desired correct behaviour for a given input is called the “oracle problem” …

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs), due to their event-driven nature, present an enormous and
potentially unbounded way for users to interact with software. During testing, it is important to …

We give an algorithm that derives a finite state machine (FSM) from a given abstract state
machine (ASM) specification. This allows us to integrate ASM specs with the existing tools …

Kuhn, followed by Tsuchiya and Kikuno, have developed a hierarchy of relationships among
several common types of faults (such as variable and expression faults) for specification …

Safety-critical systems require development methods and processes that lead to provably
correct systems in order to prevent catastrophic consequences due to system failure or …

According to best practices of model‐driven engineering, the implementation of a system
should be obtained from its model through a systematic model‐to‐code transformation. We …

Software testing is an essential phase of software development life cycle. Today many
software applications are written as web based application that runs in an Internet Browser …
