Title
A test calculus framework applied to network security policies
Abstract
We propose a syntax-driven test generation technique to automaticaly derive abstract test cases from a set of requirements expressed in a linear temporal logic. Assuming that an elementary test case (called a“tile”) is associated to each basic predicate of the formula, we show how to generate a set of test controlers associated to each logical operator, and able to coordinate the whole test execution. The test cases produced are expressed in a process algebraic style, allowing to take into account the test environment constraints. We illustrate this approach in the context of network security testing, for which more classical model-based techniques are not always suitable.
