Title
Using Pairwise Testing to Verify Automatically-Generated Formal Specifications
Abstract
In this paper, we report on the effectiveness of the testing approach known as pairwise or orthogonal testing in verifying the correctness of the LTL specifications generated by the PROperty SPECification (Prospec) tool. This tool assists the user in generating a large number (over 34,000) of formal specifications in formal languages, including Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). Pairwise testing is a technique that aims at, significantly, reducing the amount of test cases required for testing a particular software system while providing assurance of adequate coverage of the problem space.
