Abstract
SPTL is a language designed to test applications developed for synchronous controllers. It makes possible to provide a specification of the software external environment. This specification can then be processed to generate test input sequences guided by directives such as profiles of use and scenarios. We introduce a definition and an overview of the language through a simple example of a reactive system that we present in this paper.
