Abstract: We use a structure preserving encoding of Z in the higher order logic instance of the generic theorem prover Isabelle to derive test cases from Z specifications. This work shows how advanced theorem provers can be used with little e#ort to provide tool support for Z beyond mere type-checking. Experience with a non-trivial example shows that modular reasoning according to the structure of a speci#cation is crucial to keep the proof-load manageable in practical applications. Support for modular... (Update)

...equivalence classes. A common technique for this partitioning is reduction to disjunctive normal form [DF93, Hor95, Jia93, SCES96, WGS94, HNS97] Establishing operation preconditions prior to executing tests is also a significant concern. Dick and Faivre [DF93] derive a finite...
