Abstract

We explain a new strategy to model a set of java classes and to abstract a model from them that can be use to study the impact that defects affecting specific classes can have on the whole system. We use the models of the software implementation as an abstraction of the software that can be used for experimentation We used simulation and verification in SPIN but the idea can be applied to implementations in other languages than java and the analysis of defects impact can be done with other verification tools as well.
