Extending Test Sequence Overlap by Invertibility
Department of Mathematics, Goldsmith's College, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK
Finite state automata can be used to model a system; in particular they can be used to model the control section of a communications protocol. A number of authors have produced algorithms that represent the problem of minimizing the testing against a finite state automaton model as a max flow/min cost problem for an associated network. We extend this work by introducing the use of invertibility to utilize test sequence overlap.
