Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of adaptive testing of a deterministic FSM which models an implementation under test using a nondeterministic FSM as its specification. It elaborates a method for deriving test fragments, combining and executing them in adaptive way such that the implementation passes the test if and only if it is a reduction of the specification. Compared to the existing methods, it uses adaptive test fragments needed to reach as well as to distinguish states.
