Model Based Statistical Testing and Durations

Abstract

This paper focuses on the introduction of time durations to Model Based Statistical Testing. The concepts presented allow specifying durations of inputs and outputs within the test model. Three basic time restrictions are introduced: A stimulus must be shorter than a certain time, a stimulus must be longer than a certain time and a stimulus must have a duration within a given interval. The approach allows the generation of oracle information considering the introduced time information. This is necessary to test embedded real-time systems. However, as far as known to the author nothing has been published concerning the duration of stimuli and responses with respect to Model Based Statistical Testing.
