Structurally complex means that the inputs are structural e. This paper presents a new, more systematic way of testing automotive. Proactive an approach in which the test design process is initiated as early as possible in order to find and fix the defects before the build is created. Korat approach for systematic testing, which was rst presented at issta 2002 1. Systematics implements software which takes away the mundane admin processes that hold back your business.
Systematic software testing artech house computer library. Whether your organization currently has a welldefined testing process or almost no process, systematic software testing provides unique insights into better ways to test your software. Usually, the testing of todays ecu software follows a gut feeling approach, leading to test gaps and test redundancies. Korat builds states for the systematic search of the state space. Several authors have published new approaches to improve the. A test approach is the test strategy implementation of a project, defines how testing would be carried out. The main insight into the korat solver was executiondriven pruning and isomorphism.

Automated testing based on java predicates, which won one of the first acm sigsoft distinguished paper awards. Korat introduced the idea of using declarative constraints written in an imperative language for boundedexhaustive testing and presented a dedicated solver for such constraints. We introduce a novel approach to reduce the cost of the korat search in. Systematic testing means a deterministic approach in contrast to random test.
