Testing is the primary hardware and software verification technique used by industry today. Usually, it is ad hoc, error prone, and very expensive. In recent years, however, many attempts have been made to develop more sophisticated formal testing methods. This coherent book provides an in-depth assessment of this emerging field, focusing on formal testing of reactive systems. This book is based on a seminar held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in January 2004. It presents 19 carefully reviewed and revised lectures given at the seminar in a well-balanced way ensuring competent complementary coverage of all relevant aspects. An appendix provides a glossary for model-based testing and basics on finite state machines and on labelled transition systems. The lectures are presented in topical sections on testing of finite state machines, testing of labelled transition systems, model-based test case generation, tools and case studies, standardized test notation and execution architectures, and beyond testing.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2023, which took place in Lübeck, Germany, in March 2023. The 26 full paper, 2 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected rom 95 submissions. They have been organized in topical sections as follows: SAT/SMT; Verification; Quantitative Verification; Concurrency and Memory Models; Formal Methods in AI; Safety and Reliability. The proceedings also contain 3 keynote talks and 7 papers from the industry day.

The ICTAC series was founded by the International Institute for Software Technology of the United Nations University (UNU-IIST). It brings together practitionersandresearchersfromacademia,industryandgovernmenttopresent results and to exchange ideas and experience addressing challenges in both t- oretical aspects of computing and in the exploitation of theory through me- ods and tools for system development. The series also promotes cooperation in research and education between participants and their institutions, from dev- oping and industrial countries, in accordance with the mandate of the United Nations University. The previous ICTAC colloquia were held in Guiyang, China (2004, LNCS 3407), Hanoi, Vietnam (2005, LNCS 3722), Tunis, Tunisia (2006, LNCS 4281), Macao SAR, China (2007, LNCS 4711), and Istanbul, Turkey (2008, LNCS 5160). This year, 81 submissions were received, distributed over 70 full research papers and 11 tool papers. Each submission was reviewed by at least three P- gram Committee members. We thank the members of the Program Committee and the other specialist referees for the e?ort and skill that they invested in the review and selection process, which was managed using EasyChair. The C- mittee decided to accept 20 papers: 17 full research papers and 3 tool papers.
