چکیده

We present a method for abstracting nondeterministic nite state machine (NFSM) models from behavioral VHDL descriptions for formal veri cation. The method is based on semantic matching of the results of dataow analysis of the VHDL source code and the speci cations to be veri ed, with known abstraction templates. Using NFSM models for counters, comparators and registers we have shown our approach can yield many orders of magnitude (10 10) reductions in state space size and substantial improvements in performance of formal verication runs.

Test Generation for Concurrent Programs Modeled by Communicating Nondeterministic Finite State Machines1

We present a method of generating test cases for concurrent programs. The specifications of concurrent programs are modeled by a set of communicating nondeterministic finite state machines (CNFSMs), where the CNFSM model is a simplified model derived from CCITT SDL. A conformance relation, called trace-equivalence, is defined under this model, which serves as a guide to test generation. A test ...

Test Selection Based on Communicating Nondeterministic Finite-State Machines Using a Generalized WP-Method

We present a method of generating test sequences for concurrent programs and communication protocols that are modeled as communicating nondeterministic finite state machines (CNFSMs). A conformance relation, called trace-equivalence, is defined within this model, serving as a guide to test generation. A test generation method for a single nondeterministic finite state machine (NFSM) is develope...
