A partially automated process for generating test procedures has been experimentally applied to a portion of the Software Requirements Specification for an Air Traffic Management system. This process uses algorithms based on formal logic to automate some of the more tedious and error prone aspects of deriving test procedures from requirements. This approach is particularly well suited to functional requirements involving complex decisions within stimulus‐response relationships. In addition to the potential improvement to requirements‐based test generation methodology, this process may also be used to improve requirements authoring.
