We propose to test software models with software models. Model-Driven Software Development proposes that soft- ware 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 ...
