Abstract
This paper presents exhaustive analysis and simulation for distributed systems validation. Exhaustive analysis makes possible to detect quickly several types of errors, for instance, unspecified reception of signals, errors in timer management, deadlock, errors in precedence, etc. But, in general, exhaustive analysis can only be applied to a simplified model of the distributed system due to the state explosion problem. On the other hand, simulation permits accurate tests and confronts the distributed system to complex situations. We think both forms of validation are complementary. Validation was done on systems specified in the SDL language, using OVAL, a tool for specification validation developed at CNET, Paris A. This tool allows exhaustive analysis and simulation of SDL specified systems. We illustrate our results with several examples.
