Abstract

In recent work, Cavalcanti and her group, including Miyazawa and Timmis, have developed a CSP-based framework for model-based engineering of robotic systems, called RoboStar. In this paper, we describe our current effort to ally RoboStar and RT-Tester, an award-winning tool that embodies many of Jan Peleska’s beautiful results on formal testing. With our work, RoboStar users can benefit from the testing infrastructure of RT-Tester to run simulations and tests generated using the RoboStar automated techniques. The testing primitives of RT-Tester simplify the implementation of test cases, and the RT-Tester execution engine provides state-of-the-art high-performance real-time facilities to carry out and report the traceable results of test experiments.
