  • Abstract
    Reactive systems that service multiple clients or users are often highly configurable to provide customized, value-added services to individual users. A large configuration space is characteristic of such systems, resulting in a large test state space. A new framework reduces specification complexity and enables automated testing for such systems. A running example from class-5 telephony illustrates the benefits of this new approach and the experiences gained in developing and testing it.
