S-TaLiRo: A Tool for Temporal Logic Falsification for Hybrid Systems

S-TaLiRo is a Matlab toolbox that searches for falsifying trajectories of temporal logic properties of Simulink/Stateflow models. It can analyze arbitrary Simulink models or user defined functions that model the system. At the heart of the tool, we use randomized testing based on stochastic optimization techniques including Monte-Carlo methods and ant-colony optimization. Among the advantages of the toolbox is the seamless integration inside the Matlab environment, which is widely used in the industry for model-based development of control software. We present the architecture of S-TaLiRo and its working on an application example.
