abstract = {We present a requirement-centered analysis and testing framework that integrates methods and tools for capturing and formalizing textual customer requirements, analyzing
requirements consistency, generating test cases from formalized requirements and executing them on the implementation model. The framework preserves a fine grained traceability of informal and formal requirements, test cases and implementation models throughout every step of the workflow. We instantiate the framework with concrete tools that we
integrate via a file repository and Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC). The standardized integration ensures that
the framework remains generic - any specific tool used in our instantiation can be replaced by another one with compatible
functionality. We apply our framework on an industrial airbag control chip case study that we use to illustrate step-by-step our requirements-driven analysis and test methodology.},

abstract = {In model-based mutation testing, a test model is mutated for test case generation. The resulting test cases are able to detect whether the faults in the mutated models have been implemented in the system under test. For this purpose, a conformance check between the original and the mutated model is required. The generated counterexamples serve as basis for the test cases. Unfortunately, conformance checking is a hard problem and requires sophisticated verification techniques. Previous attempts using an explicit conformance checker suffered state space explosion. In this paper, we present several optimisations of a symbolic conformance checker using constraint solving techniques. The tool efficiently checks the refinement between non-deterministic test models. Compared to previous implementations, we could reduce our runtimes by 97\%. In a new industrial case study, our optimisations can reduce the runtime from over 6 hours to less than 3 minutes},
