Abstract
We study the generation of test cases for nondeterministic real-time systems. We define a class of Determinizable Timed Automata (DTA), in order to specify the system under test. The principle of our test method consists of two steps. In Step 1, we express the problem in a non-real-time form, by transforming a DTA into an equivalent finite state automaton. The latter uses two additional types of events, Set and Exp. In Step 2, we adapt a non-real-time test generation method.
