Abstract

Verification tool for Vienna Development Method (BWDM) is a test case generation tool for the VDM++ specification. The existing BWDM could cause a combinatorial explosion of the generated test cases. To reduce the number of test cases, there is Pairwise Independent Combinatorial Testing Tool (PICT): a pairwise testing tool. We apply pairwise testing into BWDM. Here, BWDM cannot call PICT library directly. Hence, we have developed PICT-wrapper. It is an interface to connect PICT and BWDM. The extended BWDM eliminate the possibility of the combinatorial explosion.
