Talk:X-Machine Testing

Proposed Content

I am currently creating a series of pages describing applications of theoretical computer science, starting with X-machines. This page discusses the Stream X-Machine Testing methodology (see Stream X-Machine). I intend including the following general content - let me know if you think this should be improved upon. I am aware that this looks like rather a lot of material for a single page, but it should be possible to keep it reasonably short. Perhaps the existing applications should be shunted into separate articles?

• very simple explanation of SXM, with link to main article
• similarity of SXM and FSM
• existence of FSM-based test strategies (esp. Chow)
• adaptation of FSM-testing to give an SXM-testing strategy
• use of design-for-test to overcome undecidability constraints
• formal description of the required test set
• worked example
• existing applications to software testing (and comparative stats)
• existing applications to hardware testing (and compararive stats)

Implementations?

If this approach is as useful and distinctive as the article makes it sound, there should be some implementations (e.g. tool support) and it should have been commercialised. However, I couldn't see any mention of implementations in the article.—greenrd (talk) 08:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on X-Machine Testing. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20071105145328/http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk:80/people/gtl1/PhDabstract.html to http://www.mcs.le.ac.uk/people/gtl1/PhDabstract.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).
