It provides tool support for a method of model-based testing know as the Test Template Framework. The tool reads a Z specification written in LaTeX markup and waits for commands from the user. Users can apply testing tactics to partition the input space of Z operations thus creating testing trees. Later they can prune these trees to eliminate unsatisfiable test specifications. In a third step, a satisfiability algorithm can be run to find a test case for each leaf in a testing tree. Finally, it is possible to refine these test cases into programs to test the implementation of the Z specification. In this talk I will show how Fastest works on some toy examples and our current research efforts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bio:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.foerderverein-technische-fakultaet.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/mcristia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2391 alignright\" title=\"mcristia\" src=\"http:\/\/www.foerderverein-technische-fakultaet.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/mcristia-249x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"139\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ftf.or.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/mcristia-249x300.jpg 249w, https:\/\/www.ftf.or.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/mcristia.jpg 328w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 139px) 100vw, 139px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Maximiliano Cristi\u00e1 is professor of Software Engineering at Universidad Nacional de Rosario (Argentina) and head of the Software Engineering Group at CIFASIS (International Franco-Argentine Center for Information Sciences and Systems).
