- Additional information
- First paper to develop a CSP semantics for both development and testing. A common semantics allows development and testing tools and techniques to be integrated; previously this was impossible. Extended (over 200 page) version includes additional proofs that semantics is compositional and satisfies required healthiness conditions (https://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~alcc/CHN17.pdf). Work supported by £1.8m EPSRC RoboTest project (EP/R025134/2) and Brazilian National Research Council grant. Semantics will form foundation of RoboTest, where developer defined state-machines, in a formalism based on current practice, are mapped to CSP specifications to support refinement and automated testing.
