Abstract
This paper presents a formal framework to test both the functional and temporal behaviors in systems where temporal aspects are critical. Different implementation relations, depending on both the interpretation of time and on the (non-)determinism of specifications and/or implementations, are presented and related. We also study how tests cases are defined and applied to implementations. A test derivation algorithm, producing sound and complete test suites, is presented.
