  - Model-based testing is a promising technology for black-box software and hardware
    testing, in which test cases are generated automatically from high-level specifications.
    Nowadays, systems typically consist of multiple interacting components and, due
    to their complexity, testing presents a considerable portion of the effort and
    cost in the design process. Exploiting the compositional structure of system specifications
    can considerably reduce the effort in model-based testing. Moreover, inferring
    properties about the system from testing its individual components allows the
    designer to reduce the amount of integration testing. In this paper, we study
    compositional properties of the ioco-testing theory. We propose a new approach
    to composition and hiding operations, inspired by contract-based design and interface
    theories. These operations preserve behaviors that are compatible under composition
    and hiding, and prune away incompatible ones. The resulting specification characterizes
    the input sequences for which the unit testing of components is sufficient to
    infer the correctness of component integration without the need for further tests.
    We provide a methodology that uses these results to minimize integration testing
    effort, but also to detect potential weaknesses in specifications. While we focus
    on asynchronous models and the ioco conformance relation, the resulting methodology
    can be applied to a broader class of systems.@eng
