Confirming the Spec Now Verifies

Oct 13, 2025 by wbrum.org 9 views

Introduction

In software development, verification is a crucial process that ensures the correctness of a system's behavior. However, verification failures can occur due to various reasons, such as incorrect specifications or implementation errors. In this feature, we will demonstrate how to break a CN (Component Network) specification in the OpenSUT (Open System Under Test) and capture a series of screenshots showing the detection, investigation, and fixing of the failure. We will also provide annotated screenshots to explain the contents of each step.

Background

CN verification is a process that checks the correctness of a CN specification. A CN specification defines the behavior of a system by specifying the interactions between its components. The CN checking tool is used to verify that the system's behavior conforms to the specified CN. However, verification failures can occur due to various reasons, such as incorrect specifications or implementation errors.

Use Case

In this use case, we will demonstrate how to break a CN specification in the OpenSUT and capture a series of screenshots showing the detection, investigation, and fixing of the failure. We will use a realistic use case for the SUT (System Under Test) to demonstrate the verification failure.

Step 1: Detecting the Failure

Detecting the Failure

In this step, we will break a CN specification in the OpenSUT and capture a screenshot showing the detection of the failure.

Annotation:

The screenshot shows the CN checking tool detecting a verification failure.
The tool has identified a discrepancy between the specified CN and the actual system behavior.
The discrepancy is highlighted in the screenshot.

Step 2: Investigating the Failure

Investigating the Failure

In this step, we will investigate the failure by analyzing the CN specification and the system behavior.

Annotation:

The screenshot shows the CN specification and the system behavior being analyzed.
The analyst is investigating the discrepancy between the specified CN and the actual system behavior.
The analyst is using the CN checking tool to identify the root cause of the failure.

Step 3: Fixing the Problem

Fixing the Problem

In this step, we will fix the problem by modifying the CN specification or the system behavior.

Annotation:

The screenshot shows the CN specification being modified to fix the failure.
The analyst is using the CN checking tool to verify that the modified CN specification is correct.
The system behavior is being updated to conform to the modified CN specification.

Step 4: Confirming the Spec Now Verifies

Confirming the Spec Now Verifies

In this step, we will confirm that the modified CN specification now verifies correctly.

The tool has confirmed that the system behavior conforms to the modified CN specification.
The analyst is verifying that the modified CN specification is correct.

Conclusion

In this feature, we have demonstrated how to break a CN specification in the OpenSUT and capture a series of screenshots showing the detection, investigation, and fixing of the failure. We have also provided annotated screenshots to explain the contents of each step. This feature will help users understand how to use the CN checking tool to verify the correctness of a CN specification.
