Derivation of Tests from Timed Specifications According to Different Coverage Criteria

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to provide an algorithm to derive finite test suites, from timed specifications, according to a given coverage criterium. First, we introduce a timed extension of the finite state machines model. We consider that (output) actions take time to be performed. In addition to present our formalism, we develop a testing theory. Thus, we introduce a notion of timed test and define how to apply tests to implementations under test.
