Anotace:

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 descripton of

system properties (Z-notation, temporal logic) and the applicable

verification methods (model checking, theorem proving) working on these

representations.
