A method is proposed to transform a test case generation problem to a protocol validation problem. Protocol validation has been studied for years and many validation tools are available. By transforming a test case generation problem into a protocol validation problem, a protocol validation tool can be used to generate test cases. The method can be implemented in a very short period of time. The complexity of the proposed method in searching for a test case is O(n), where n is the number of system states in the specification.
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.
