Model Checking Transition System XML Labeling

The patent replaces dynamic mechanical testing with static analysis using model checking. Instead of executing code dynamically to verify functionality, the system creates a transition system model and uses model checking algorithms to exhaustively verify properties without execution, substituting the mechanical testing process with a computational modeling approach that achieves both exhaustiveness and efficiency.

The patent performs preliminary actions by creating a transition system model before actual testing. The model captures all possible states and transitions of the software system in advance, allowing exhaustive verification of properties to be performed on the model rather than requiring exhaustive dynamic testing of the actual software, thereby improving testing efficiency while maintaining reliability.

The patent applies universality by creating a unified transition system model that can represent various types of software systems and properties using a single formalism. The model checking framework serves multiple functions: it can verify different types of properties (safety, liveness, fairness), handle different programming languages, and accommodate various analysis scenarios, thereby achieving exhaustive analysis without requiring separate complex transformation processes for each case.

The patent uses parameter changes by allowing flexible configuration of the transition system model's parameters (states, transitions, initial states, accepting states) to match different software systems and properties. This parameterization approach enables exhaustive analysis of various software systems by simply changing the model parameters rather than requiring fundamental transformations of the analysis methodology, thus reducing the complexity burden.
