Abstract

The method for testing electronic mail protocols in the Internet to conform to the standards based on formal specifications is presented. The method is based on automated testing technology UniTESK in which functional requirements are formalized as pre- and postconditions and test sequence is generated on-the-fly from finite state machine (test state machine) traversal. The method is illustrated by the test suite development for SMTP and POP3 protocols using JavaTESK – a specification extension of Java language.
