Conformance Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems : A Comparative Study

For systematic and automatic testing of cyber-physical systems, in which a set of test cases is generated based on a formal specification, a number of notions of conformance testing have been proposed. In this paper, we review two existing theories of conformance testing for cyber-physical systems and compare them. We point out their fundamental differences, and prove under which assumptions they coincide. © Automated Verification of Critical Systems 2014.Walid Taha was supported by the US NSF CPS award 1136099.
