An Algorithm

IDEA: State-set tracking

Dynamically compute all potential states that the model M can reach after the timed trace ε0,i0,ε1,o1,ε2,i2,o2,…

Z=M after (ε0,i0,ε1,o1,ε2,i2,o2)

If Z= ∅ the IUT has made a computation not in model: FAILi is a relevant input in Env iff i ∈ EnvOutput(Z)

(Abstract) Online AlgorithmAlgorithm TestGenExe (S, E, IUT, T ) returns {pass, fail)Z := {(s0, e0)}.

while Z ≠ ∅ ∧ ♯iterations ≤ T do either randomly:1. // offer an input

if EnvOutput(Z) ≠ ∅randomly choose i ∈ EnvOutput(Z)send i to IUTZ := Z After i

2. // wait d for an outputrandomly choose d ∈Delays(Z)wait (for d time units or output o at d′ ≤ d)if o occurred then

Z := Z After d′

Z := Z After o // may become ∅ (⇒fail)else

Z := Z After d // no output within d delay3. restart:

Z := {(s0, e0)}, reset IUT //reset and restartif Z = ∅ then return fail else return pass

Online AlgorithmAlgorithm TestGenExe (S, E, IUT, T ) returns {pass, fail)Z := {(s0, e0)}.

if o ∉ ImpOutput(Z) then return failelse Z := Z After o

else Z := Z After d // no output within d delay

3. restart:Z := {(s0, e0)}, reset IUT //reset and restart

if Z = ∅ then return fail else return pass

Ex2: High Alarm Monitor v1

Clearing the alarm do not switch off alarm state, only alarm relay

Ex2: High Alarm Monitor v2

•Add HighAlarmDisplay action •Add location for “noSound, but alarmDisplaying”•(Postpone alarms after defrosting)

Ex3: Defrosting and Alarms

When defrosting the temperature rises, therefore postpone high temperature alarms during defrost System parameter alarmDelayAfterDefrostSeveral Interpretations

Postpone alarmDelayAfterDefrost+alarmDelay after defrost?Postpone alarmDelayAfterDefrost+alarmDelay after highTemp detected?Postpone alarmDelayAfterDefrost until temperature becomes low; then use alarmDelay

Option 3 applies!

Ex4: Defrost TimeTolerance

Defrost relays engaged earlier and disengaged later than expectedAssumed 2 seconds toleranceDefrosting takes long timeImplementation uses a low resolution timer (10 seconds)
