In this paper we report on the applicability of a number of ISO-9646 techniques, concepts and automatic test-generation tools in the area of multimedia processing (MPEG2). Several concepts, such as PICS and PCO, and EFSM-based TICN generation carried over to this new domain very well. The PHACT tool environment, originally developed at Philips for hardware (VHDL) protocol testing, was adapted and used for test generation and test execution in the multimedia processing domain. The paper also highlights a number of interesting issues related to the usage of (E)FSMs, such as dealing with reactive behavior at a software API PCO and dealing with stream-PCOs. Multimedia streams were modeled as FSMs. This turned out to be a new application area for test generation from composite or product FSMs, a technique originating from the embedded testing method. The process followed for test preparation and test execution consists of seven phases, which are surveyed in the paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
