Abstract

This paper introduces a method of formalizing syntax and semantics of UML statecharts with Z. According to this precise semantics, UML statecharts are transformed into FREE (Flattened Regular Expression) state models. Proper testing pre-orders and equivalences are introduced which allow to equate/distinguish systems on the basis of their interaction with the surrounding environment, abstracting from their internal structure. The formal testing framework for UML Statecharts is express with Z.
