BeSpaceD: Towards a Tool Framework and Methodology for the Specification and Verification of Spatial Behavior of Distributed Software Component Systems
In this report, we present work towards a framework for modeling and checking
behavior of spatially distributed component systems. Design goals of our
framework are the ability to model spatial behavior in a component oriented,
simple and intuitive way, the possibility to automatically analyse and verify
systems and integration possibilities with other modeling and verification
tools. We present examples and the verification steps necessary to prove
properties such as range coverage or the absence of collisions between
components and technical details
From Temporal Models to Property-Based Testing
This paper presents a framework to apply property-based testing (PBT) on top
of temporal formal models. The aim of this work is to help software engineers
to understand temporal models that are presented formally and to make use of
the advantages of formal methods: the core time-based constructs of a formal
method are schematically translated to the BeSpaceD extension of the Scala
programming language. This allows us to have an executable Scala code that
corresponds to the formal model, as well as to perform PBT of the models
functionality. To model temporal properties of the systems, in the current work
we focus on two formal languages, TLA+ and FocusST.Comment: Preprint. Accepted to the 12th International Conference on Evaluation
