Abstract(in English) There are various testing methods of improving the reliability of software. In this study, we consider state transition testing. State transition testing is one of the testing methods based on specifications described as statecharts or state transition tables. This testing method requires that testcases cover all states or all transitions. Manual testcase generation is feasible only when the number of system states is very small and transition conditions are very simple; thus an automatic method is required. In this study, we propose a method that automatically generates testcases with the NuSMV model checker to cover all states. Using the exhaustive state space search method of the NuSMV model checker, we can generate testcases for complex systems in reasonable time.
