ABSTRACT
This paper presents a model-based framework for designing and validating embedded software (ESW). The design infrastructure is a rapid-application-development suite for ESW, i.e., radCASE, which provides the user with an off the shelf designing environment based on model-driven paradigm. The validation infrastructure, i.e., radCHECK, is based on Property Editor. Such an editor simplifies the definition of PSL properties by exploiting PSL-based templates, that can be automatically compiled into executable checkers by using the integrated Checker Generator engine. Besides, radCHECK comprises a testcase generation infrastructure, i.e., Ulisse, which is based on an corner-case-oriented concolic approach for ESW, thus it is able to simulate the ESW and the checkers by using high-coverage testcases.

On the integration of model-driven design and dynamic assertion-based verification for embedded software
Model-driven design (MDD) aims at elevating design to a higher level of abstraction than that provided by third-generation programming languages. Concurrently, assertion-based verification (ABV) relies on the definition of temporal assertions to enhance ...
Enabling dynamic assertion-based verification of embedded software through model-driven design
DATE '12: Proceedings of the Conference on Design, Automation and Test in EuropeAssertion-based verification (ABV) is more and more used for verification of embedded systems concerning both HW and SW parts. However, ABV methodologies and tools do not apply to HW and SW components in the same way: for HW components, both static ABV ...
