Model checking test models

This thesis is about model checking testing models. These testing models are used during the automated testing of software systems and encode symbolic transition systems that are necessarily open. Open models need to be closed before they can be model checked by LTSmin. The open models are closed by the automatic generation and insertion of an environment process. They are then translated to DVE and model checked. The model closing algorithm does preserve the verifiable properties for the models that it can close, but cannot deal with models that have an infinitely large underlying labeled transition system. Future research is suggested to deal with this issue.
