Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in testing duration systems. Duration systems are an extension of real-time systems for which delays that separate events depend on the accumulated times spent by the computation at some particular locations of the system. We present a test generation method for nondeterministic duration systems that uses the approximation method. This method extends a model using an over approximation, the approximate model, containing the digitization timed words of all the real computations of the duration system. Then, we propose an algorithm that generates a set of test cases presented with a tree by considering a discrete time.
