Abstract

The problem of testing modular systems against algebraic specifications is discussed. We focus on systems where the decomposition into parts is specified by a CASL-style architectural specification and the parts (units) are developed separately, perhaps by an independent supplier. We consider how to test such units without reference to their context of use. This problem is most acute for generic units where the particular instantiation cannot be predicted.
