Formal System Testing

Organisation

Acquis d'apprentissage

The main objective of this course is to provide students with some knowledge in Modeling, Verification and Validation aspects. Testing techniques applied to functional or non functional aspects (e.g. security) on new generation protocols (e.g. ad hoc routing protocols) are emphasized.

A first step is to present what a protocol’s formal model is and how to obtain it. Therefore, languages and modeling industrial tools are introduced. The second step is to verify this model in order to finally, in a third phase, derive some tests to validate the real protocols.

Prérequis

Students are required to have basic knowledge in probability theory, queueing theory and simulation.
