Abstract
Current software testing practices focus, almost exclusively, on the
implementation, despite widely acknowledged benefits of testing based
on software specifications. We propose approaches to specification-based
testing by extending a wide variety of implementation-based testing
techniques to be applicable to formal specification languages. We
demonstrate these approaches for the Anna and Larch specification languages.
