Abstract

Formal methods possess great analyzing capability that has led to an increasing use by engineers in the development and verification-validation life-cycle of hardware and software critical systems. Mutation Analysis has been very effective in model design and safety analysis. In this paper primary idea is to integrate the mutation analysis of stateflow to the Integrated Mutation Analysis Tool. This enhanced property of the IMAT tool after integration will be able to analyze the functionalities of stateflow models of the highly critical systems. The effectiveness of the Stateflow mutation analysis can be validated using the case-study of Autopilot Mode Transition Logic.
