In the area of testing communication systems, the interfaces between systems to be tested and their testers have great impact on test generation and fault detectability. Several t...

The signal SAVE construct is one of the features distinguishing SDL from convent specification and programming languages. On the other hand, this feature increase testing SDL-spec...
Systems constructed from components, including distributed systems, consist of a number of elements that interact with each other. As the number of network elements or interchangea...
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...
Coverage analysis of programs and specifications is a common approach to measure the quality and the adequacy of a test suite. This paper presents a probe insertion technique for m...
We present a formal approach to check the correctness and to propose corrections of hand-written test suites with respect to a formal specification of the protocol implementations ...
In this paper we present factorized test generation techniques that can be used to generate test cases from a specification that is modelled as a labelled transition system. The t...
Based on the notion of event-based behavioral abstraction EBBA we specify properties of object-oriented distributed systems in linear time temporal logic. These properties are the...
Distributed test setups for efficient load, performance, scalability, interworking, and end-to-end tests are gaining importance for the assessment of distributed communicating syst...
