Using Static Analysis to Improve Automatic Test Generation

Conformance testing is still the main industrial validation technique for telecommunication protocols. The automatic construction of test cases based on the model approach is hindered by the state explosion problem. Our method reduces its magnitude by reconsidering the test case generation at a higher level and by taking advantage of some static analysis techniques, in particular the slicing techniques. The speci cation is simpli ed by pipelining a set of three modules, each one implementing a di erent slicing technique.
