We are indebted to the U. of Ottawa LOTOS Group for their collaboration, and in particular to H. Ben Fredj, L. Charfi, P. Forhan, N. Gorse, D. Petriu and J. ...
Using control flow information, the number of times that statement3 is executed is computed from Probe [1]-Probe [ 2 ] . ...
For instance, the SPEc-VALUE methodology (Specification-Validation Approach with LOTOS and UCMs) promotes the use of scenarios, which capture informal functional requirements from a behavioural perspective ...

Formal support for design techniques: a Timethreads-LOTOS approach
[chapter]
1996
IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology
Being executable, a LOTOS specification produces a prototype of the entity specified, prototype which can be analyzed and tested (design-level testing). ...
Tools used include LOLA for analysis and design testing, LMC for checking temporal logic properties, and GOAL for checking reachability of actions. ...

Application of a LOTOS based Test Environment on AAL5

Protocol Test Systems VIII
The generation (creation) of the LOTOS test cases is not addressed here. ...
As a prerequisite, a formalized, but simplified, protocol or service specification is expected, which will be also used for the analysis of the test execution. ...
We would like to thank J. de Meer, technical leader of the TOPIC project, who invented and discussed with us the basic ideas of the distributed test system, and also B. ...

Formal user-centred models
[chapter]
1997
IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology
As informal requirements are usually expressed in terms of the behaviour which the environment expects from a system, we propose that the construction of a formal and executable user-centred model should ...
Rapid prototyping can be used to validate the user-centred model with respect to the requirements and the informal task of validating the objectoriented specification can be replaced by the formal task ...
The user-centred model must therefore be composed in parallel with a Test process with the following structure (Quemada et al. 1995 The agent scenario in a test process is derived directly from a single ...

Testing a LOTOS specification has been shown as an efficient way of detecting errors in a specification. ...
Formal Test Automation: A Simple Experiment
[chapter]
1999
IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology
The test scenarios are derived from multiple specification languages: LOTOS, Promela and SDL. A central theme of this study is the usability of batch-oriented and on-the-fly testing approaches. ...
To facilitate the derivation from multiple formal description techniques and the different test execution approaches, an open, generic environment called TorX is introduced. ...
Using observations during the test execution we can reduce the effort in deriving test information from the specification compared with batch derivation; see also [13] . ...

Testing of Communicating Systems
(eds.), Testing of Communicating Systems © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1996 Part Four ODP Testing number of larger examples of ODP use. ...
Requirements and specifications of an ODP system can be made from any of these viewpoints. ...
So, an alternative approach is to first unify the viewpoint specifications and then derive tests from this unification using classic test case generation techniques. ...

Protocol Design and Implementation Using Formal Methods
1992
Computer journal
The paper focuses on design methods for synthesizing protocols by successive application of correctness-preserving LOTOS transformations. ...
Testing a protocol against the service, according to the formal notion of test equivalence ([Abr87]), consists of defining test sequences derived from the service specification and applying them to the ...
Conformance testing methods can be used for both validation and certification of protocol implementations. Conformance testing methods using LOTOS have been discussed in [B+90] . ...

Generation of test purposes from Use Case Maps

Computer Networks
It is therefore a natural candidate for use in the process of generating requirementsdirected test suites. We survey several approaches for deriving test purposes from UCM models. ...
Therefore, they are inappropriate as the only source of information for the direct derivation of implementation-level test cases. ...
The testing patterns were used to derive test purposes for all these applications. Table 1 presents several characteristics of these experiments, as an indication of their structure and size. ...

IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology
A formal computational model for distributed systems and in particular for distributed multimedia applications derived frorn the Reference Model on Open Distributed Processing is defined and presented. ...
The formal definition is based on the standardized formal description technique LOTOS introducing the LOTOS sub-language approach. ...
However, they seem to be mostly ad-hoc solutions implemented in a particular environment This paper aims a more general approach: distributed multimedia applications are derived from standardized framework ...

A Method for Applying LOTOS at an Early Design Stage and Its Application to the ISO Transport Protocol
[chapter]
1994
The OSI95 Transport Service with Multimedia Support
We propose a method applicable to the design of large and abstract LOTOS specifications. ...
Having proved the feasibility of the method on this protocol, it was then used to specify (parts of) the new transport protocol TPX of OSI95. ...
Ideally, these test suites should be derived from the formal specification of the standard. If the tests succeed, the implementation is claimed to conform to the standard. ...

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
In this paper, we propose an automatic analysis and test case derivation method for LOTOS expressions with data values. ...
For this class, we give an algorithm for deriving a set of test cases (a test suite). The algorithm is carried out by using a decision procedure for integer linear programming problems. ...
