We propose to test software models with software
models. Model-Driven Software Development proposes that
software is to be constructed by developing high-level models
that directly execute or generate most of the code. On the
other hand, Test-Driven development proposes to produce tests
that validate the functionality of the code. This paper brings
both together by using Logic-Labeled Finite-State Machines
to deploy executable models of embedded systems and also to
configure the corresponding tests. The advantage is a much
more efficient validation of the models, with more robust
and durable representations, that ensure ...
