PyModel Analyzer

PyModel is an open-source model-based testing framework in Python.


Usage:

  pma [options] models  

models is a list of one or more module names (with no .py suffix). Each module named in models must contain a model, that is: a model program, an FSM, or a test suite. In addition, a module named in models can contain additional configuration information for a model program. Multiple models (model programs including configuration, FSMs, and test suites) are composed into a product. The analyzer generates a finite state machine from the product and writes an FSM module that includes the generated FSM, the explored states, and other results of the analysis.

The FSM module contents can be displayed using the PyModel Graphics program, pmg, and one of the Graphviz commands, dotps, dotpdf, or dotsvg. Alternatively, pma, pmg, and a dot program can all be invoked by the pmv program, so analysis and display can be accomplished by a single command.

Options:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a ACTION, --action=ACTION
                        Action to include in generated FSM, as many as needed,
                        if no -a include all actions
  -e EXCLUDE, --exclude=EXCLUDE
                        Action to exclude from generated FSM, as many as
                        needed
  -m MAXTRANSITIONS, --maxTransitions=MAXTRANSITIONS
                        Maximum number of transitions to include in the
                        generated FSM, default 100
  -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT
                        Output module name (with no .py suffix), default is
                        <first argument>FSM
