Testing Physical Systems
We present a formal theory of model-based testing, an algorithm for test generation based on it, and outline how testing is implemented by a diagnostic engine. The key to making t...

Formal Test Automation: The Conference Protocol with PHACT
We discuss a case study of automatic test generation and test execution based on formal methods. The case is the Conference Protocol, a simple, chatbox-like protocol, for which (fo...

Ontology-based test generation for multiagent systems
This paper investigates software agents testing, and in particular how to automate test generation. We propose a novel approach, which takes advantage of agent interaction ontolog...

Lazy Annotation for Program Testing and Verification
Abstract. We describe an interpolant-based approach to test generation and model checking for sequential programs. The method generates Floyd/Hoare style annotations of the program...

Depth-driven verification of simultaneous interfaces
The verification of modern computing systems has grown to dominate the cost of system design, often with limited success as designs continue to be released with latent bugs. This t...

The Pseudo-Exhaustive Test of Sequential Circuits
: The concept of a pseudo-exhaustive test for sequential circuits is introduced in a similar way as it is used for combinational networks. Instead of test sets one has to apply pse...

Automatic test generation using genetically-engineered distinguishing sequences
A fault-oriented sequential circuit test generator is described in which various types of distinguishing sequences are derived, both statically and dynamically, to aid the test ge...

Identification of unsettable flip-flops for partial scan and faster ATPG
State justification is a time-consuming operation in test generation for sequential circuits. In this paper, we present a technique to rapidly identify state elements (flip-flops)...
