Integration of Metamorphic Testing and Model Checking

本课题提出了一种将变质试验与模型检验相结合的创新方法。它的主要结果将是提供一种全面的测试方法，这种方法将有助于减少软件开发中的错误和成本，从而提高软件系统的质量。由于软件是无处不在的，我们的结果将提高国家的软件生产力和质量。因此，我们的研究结果将有助于提高我国的竞争优势，朝着成为亚太地区软件产业领先国家的目标迈进。此外，这项合作将帮助年轻的澳大利亚研究人员与中国科学院这一领先的国际研究机构建立联系。

This project proposes an innovative approach of integrating metamorphic testing and model checking. Its main outcome will be to deliver a comprehensive testing method that will help to reduce errors and costs in software development and consequently to improve the quality of software systems. Since software is pervasive and ubiquitous, our results will improve the nation's software productivity and quality. Thus, our results will help in raising our nation's competitive advantage towards the goal of becoming a leading nation in the software industry among Asia-Pacific countries. Furthermore, this collaboration will help young Australian researchers to link to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a leading-edge international research institute.
