Best Paper Award for Testing Railway Controllers

15-Dec-2023

On 20 September 2023, during the 28th Conference on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems (FMICS’23), Djurre van der Wal (PhD), Marcus Gerhold (Assistant Prof), and Mariëlle Stoelinga (Prof) from the University of Twente were presented with the Best Paper Award for their paper “Conformance in the Railway Industry: Single-Input-Change Testing a EULYNX Controller”.

In the paper, a model-based test approach is applied that (i) is automated; (ii) is restricted to tests that can be applied efficiently in practice; (iii) produces test suites of a manageable size that achieve a meaningful type of coverage; and (iv) improves fault coverage relative to earlier work.
