Abstract

AbstractThis paper describes the possible process elements and benefits of applying “Formal Methods” to the specification and testing of software requirements. It is argued that the overall effort required to generate test cases can be significantly reduced by applying these methods. Ambiguities and inconsistencies are identified and removed from the specifications through the use of formal methods. This paper provides a sketch of a theoretic foundational for generating test cases from formalized software requirements specifications thereby reducing test development effort and providing developers and testers with a consistent interpretation of requirements. Preliminary work also supports the thesis that test case generation can be automated.
