Abstract: The authors are part of a larger group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), George Mason University (GMU), and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). Projects directed by group members use formal methods, particularly model checking, to investigate the generation and recognition of test sets for software systems. Our positions, in order of increasing potential controversy, are 1) the use of speci cations is an important complement to code-based methods, 2) ... (Update)

...the security policy; we have no such paths. Another approach of using model checkers for vulnerability identification is proposed in [1, 2]. However they use the model checker combined with mutation testing techniques to generate and recognise test sets rather then testing...

.... criteria has been carried out using, for example, set theory [20] graph theory [38] predicate logic [31] 45] and temporal logic [2]. In this paper, the Z notation [26] 43] is used for the formal definition of the criteria. Some reasons for choosing the Z notation are...
