Using software components is a modern approach for building extensible and reliable applications. To ensure high dependability, a component application should undergo verification, e.g. model checking, to prove it has certain properties. The implementation of an application is usually too complex to be verified at a formal level; therefore, a model being an abstraction of the implementation is to be used. Behavior protocols [11] are a platform for modeling of software component behavior. In this paper, we propose a method for translation behavior protocols to Promela [7], which is consequently used as the input for the Spin model checker [7]. Having the Promela code describing the component behavior, one can efficiently check for the behavior compatibility and LTL (Linear Temporal Logic) properties of cooperating software components.
