Deriving test cases from formal specifications of communicating processes has been studied for a while. Several methods have been proposed for specifications based on FSM (Finite State Machines), LTS (Labelled Transition Systems), IOTS (Input Output Transition Systems), etc. However, most approaches are limited to a finite set of actions, excluding the possibility of communicating typed values between processes. This article presents a test derivation and selection method based on a model of communicating processes with inputs, outputs and data types, which is closer to actual implementations of communication protocols.
