Abstract.Model-based conformance testing of reactive systems consists in taking benefit from the model for mechanizing both test data generation and verdicts computation. On-line test case generation allows one to apply adaptive on-the-fly analyzes to generate the next inputs to be sent and to decide if observed outputs meet intended behaviors. On the other hand, in off-line approaches, test suites are pre-computed from the model and stored under a format that can be later performed on testbeds. In this paper, we propose a two-passes off-line approach where: for the submission part, a test suite is a simple timed sequence of numerical input data and waiting delays, and then, the timed sequence of output data is post-processed on the model to deliver a verdict. As our models are Timed Output Input Symbolic Transition Systems, our off-line algorithms involve symbolic execution and constraint solving techniques.
Interaction models describe the exchange of messages between the different components of distributed systems. This paper presents an approach for checking the validity of multi-traces against interaction models. A multi-trace is a collection of traces (sequences of emissions and receptions), each representing a local view of the same global execution of the distributed system. We formally prove our approach, study its complexity, and implement it in a prototype tool.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
