Property verification with MSC

Abstract

In the development process the very first phase focuses on the requirements. Most of the requirements are dynamic and describe how the system reacts to a set of stimuli. Not all the possible reactions are listed in the requirements but some mandatory reactions are described that can be seen as properties. Later in the development process is a real system or a representative model of the future system. At that point it is possible to gather execution traces of the real system. Based on the work of the European PRESTO project this paper describes the work that has been done to use the same kind of model in both cases and match one against the other. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
