Synopsis:

This course will introduce the theoretical foundations and mathematical concepts necessary for rigorous software testing, including the definitions of fundamental system characteristics, such as reliability, robustness and

correctness of the software system. We will emphasize the techniques and abstract tools necessary for validation of the correctness and reliability characteristics of the software. In the first part of the course, we will

introduce the existing techniques and paradigms for system testing (black/white box, formal methods, structural analysis), including the methods for test number reduction and automation. The second part of the course will concentrate on formal methods for system verification. We will introduce the formal frameworks necessary for the dynamic description of

system properties (Z-notation, temporal logic) and the applicable verification methods (model checking, theorem proving) working on these representations.
