Generating test cases for EFSM with given fault models

Abstract

A test case generation method is proposed for the conformance testing of communication protocols. Given a protocol specification and a fault model, both specified by extended finite state machines (EFSMs), the proposed method generates test cases that detect the given faults. A theoretical model is proposed to describe the dynamic properties of EFSMs. Test cases can be generated by analyzing the differences in the dynamic properties between the specification and the fault models.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
