Software developers use a variety of methods, including both formal methods and testing, to argue that their systems are suitable components for high assurance applications. In this paper, we develop another connection between formal methods and testing by defining a specification-based coverage metric to evaluate test sets. Formal methods in the form of a model checker supply the necessary automation to make the metric practical. The metric gives the software developer assurance that a given test set is sufficiently sensitive to the structure of an application's specification. In this paper, we develop the necessary foundation for the metric and then illustrate the metric on an example.
