Abstract

We propose an approach to testing that combines formal methods with practical criteria, close to the testing engineer's experience. It can be seen as a framework to evaluate and select test suites using formal methods, assisted by informal heuristics. This proposal is illustrated with a practical case study: the testing of a protocol for mobile auctions in a distributed, wireless environment.
