Abstract

In this paper, we present an extension of the notion of institution that takes into account test cases. Our approach is to incrementally generate functional tests from a structured formal specification, we generate tests from small specifications and compose them. The issue is then to prove the correctness of the resulting tests. We thus extend the classical notion of institution with a category of test cases and a notion of satisfaction of test cases.
