  • Abstract
    Extended Finite State Machines (EFSMs) are often used in model-based development and for modeling VHDL specifications. This paper proposes an approach for automated test generation for EFSM models. Design by contract approach is applied to formalize specification requirements. Genetic algorithm is proposed to find set of values that triggers given path in the EFSM and reveals inconsistensies with the specification.
