- Our group have recently produced a report on test generation and translation
- tools for the formal languages Z, VDM, RAISE, SDL LOTOS and Estelle. In it we
- identified tool support for SDL, Estelle, LOTOS and RAISE capable of
- translating to C or C++.
-
- The report (NPL Report DITC 207/92 - State of the art techniques in automatic
- generation of reference implementations & test code from formal specifications)
- can be obtained (free of charge) by contacting Sharon Wilson and giving the
- report number and Report Ref (DITC 207/92).
