Analysis of Model-based Testing methods for Embedded Systems

The work presented in this master's thesis is a part of the Artemis-MBAT project. MBAT will provide European industry with a new leading-edge Validation and Verification technology in the form of a Reference Technology Platform (RTP) that will enable the production of high-quality and safe embedded systems at reduced cost in terms of time and money [1]. Model- Based Automated Testing is a new technique which is used for automating the generation of test cases from systems/software requirements. Despite handcrafted tests, the test suite could be derived automatically in this approach by focusing on the model behaviors. The goal of this thesis is to analyze and prototyping a tool where the scope is limited to analyzing the given Timed Automata model as an input, and generating the test suite accordingly. The output is supposed to be used with Enea Farkle's Test-bench as an input. Farkle Testbech has been implemented by Enea already and has been integrated into the other Enea tools used for debuging the embedded systems
