Towards automatic validation of composite heterogeneous systems in edge situations

Systems implementing safety functions are becoming more complex, which is also related to their communication and perception capabilities in an environment. Such systems, primarily seen in mobility, become more susceptible to failures in complex decision-making situations that are difficult to uncover. This paper presents an idea formed in a PhD topic on validating and verifying the system specified by formal logic models. We aim to do so by using automatically generated test scenarios including edge situations (as generalizations of edge cases) invoked by an environment in a simulation tool.
