- Paper proves that distributed testing is more effective if carried out in a novel hybrid test architecture. It provides decidability and complexity results for problems whose solutions are required by finite state machine-based test generation algorithms. The hybrid test architecture should lead to more effective distributed testing; complexity and decidability results will inform the development of test generation algorithms. The test architecture has been adopted as the basis of work at The University of Porto and used with one of their industrial partners within a funded project. They recently involved Hierons in this work (doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-29238-6_24; doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS.2020.3021858).
