Abstract

Methods for testing from Finite State Machine-based specifications often require the existence of a preset distinguishing sequence for constructing checking sequences. It has been shown that an adaptive distinguishing sequence is sufficient for these methods. This result is significant because adaptive distinguishing sequences are strictly more common and up to exponentially shorter than preset ones. However, there has been no study on the actual effect of using adaptive distinguishing sequences on the length of checking sequences. This paper describes experiments that show that checking sequences constructed using adaptive distinguishing sequences are almost consistently shorter than those based on preset distinguishing sequences. This is investigated for three different checking sequence generation methods and the results obtained from an extensive experimental study are given.
