Abstract:
1. A method for describing at least a portion of a system for enabling testing of at least a portion of the system, the system comprising a plurality of components, the method comprising: using a processor for: receiving an algorithmic description of a composition of the components of the system, wherein the algorithmic description of the composition of components comprises algorithmic descriptions of the respective components of the composition and a description of interconnections between the components of the composition; receiving, for each component of the composition, an algorithmic description of access to the component, wherein the algorithmic description of access to the component comprises an algorithmic description of one or more access mechanisms configured for use in accessing the component and a description of one or more interconnections between the one or more access mechanisms and the component; and storing the algorithmic description of the composition and the algorithmic descriptions of access to the components for use in testing at least a portion of the system.
