Title
Property Oriented Test Case Generation
Abstract
In this paper we propose an approach to automatically produce test cases allowing to check the satisfiability of a linear property on a given implementation. Linear properties can be expressed by formulas of temporal logic. An observer is built from each formula. An observer is a finite automaton on infinite sequences. Of course, testing the satisfiability of an infinite sequence is not possible. Thus, we introduce the notion of bounded properties. Test cases are generated from a (possibly partial) specification of the IUT and the property to validate is expressed by a parameterised automaton on infinite words. This approach is formally defined, and a practical test generation algorithm is sketched.
