Preface
Testing often accounts for more than 50% of the required effort during system development. The challenge for research is to reduce these costs by providing new methods for the specification and generation of high-quality tests. Experience has shown that the use of formal methods in testing represents a very important means for improving the testing process. Formal methods allow for the analysis and interpretation of models in a rigorous and precise mathematical manner. The use of formal methods is not restricted to system models only. Test models may also be examined. Analyzing system models provides the possibility of generating complete test suites in a systematic and possibly automated manner w
