New article on requirements modelling, model-based testing and traceability

Our article on combining requirements modelling, test-case generation and traceability appeared in the Springer STTT journal.

The paper describes how we

1. model requirements as contracts in the form of assume-guarantee conditions 
2. generate test cases efficiently out of the models via SMT solving and an incremental algorithm
3. add traceability information linking requirements, contracts, generated test-cases and test results
4. demonstrated its feasibility with our industrial partner Infineon on airbag electronics.  

All of this comes with solid foundations and precise semantics.
