Abstract

Verification and validation are becoming the most important activities in software engineering because of the stronger need to ensure and enhance quality. The system designers need to ensure the conformance of models with the functionalities of a target system and the correctness, safeness and reliabilityof its operating cycles. Manyformal methods have been promoted to support such tasks and Petri nets formalism seems to be one of the most relevant one to evaluate control properties. But it lacks of structuration facilities to allow to handle large scale systems. The aim of this paper is to show that, for some guidelines, Petri nets can be integrated in usual object-oriented software methodologies in order to evaluate such properties. Hence, one can profit from contributions of both object and nets to handle qualityin systems in a more satisfactory way.
