Rob Hierons Brunel University rob.hierons@brunel.ac.uk
Main Interest • Automated Test Generation. • Mainly Model-Based • Techniques used: • Graph-based • Metaheuristics
tester tester tester Distributed Testing • Physically distributed interfaces/ports. • A tester at each port. • No global clock • Testers do not synchronise during testing. SUT University of York 2009
tester SUT tester Makes testing harder to control • The second tester cannot know when to send its input.
tester Spec tester tester SUT tester x1 x1 y1 y1 y2 x1 x1 y2 y1 y1 Reduces observational power • These look the same
Results • Work to date is foundational: • Defining new implementation relations. • Exploring and proving properties • The next stage: Test Generation.
