Abstract

Testing remains the principal means of verification in commercial practice and in many certification regimes. Formal methods of verification will coexist with testing and should be developed in ways that improve, supplement, and exploit the value of testing. I describe automated test generation, which uses technology from formal methods to mechanize the construction of test cases, and discuss some of the research challenges in this area.
