Abstract: This work presents an approach to agent-based simulation development using formal modelling, i.e. stream X-Machines, that combines the power of executable specifications and test case generation. In that respect, a domain specific language is presented for effortlessly encoding agent behaviour as a stream X-Machine in a well known simulation platform. The main benefits in using the specific formal approach in such a practical setting, apart from the fact that it offers a clear, intuitive way for specifying agent behaviour, is the existence of tools for test case generation, that allow to systematically generate “agent simulation test scenarios”, i.e. sequences of agent inputs that can be used for validation.
