  In order to decide whether a software system fulfills a specification, or whether a detailed specification preserves the properties of a more abstract specification, we need an understanding of what it means for one specification to fulfill another specification. This is particularly important when the specification contains one or more operators for expressing choice. Operators for choice have been studied for more than three decades within the field of formal methods in general, and within methods for action-refinement in particular. In this paper we focus on Event-B, a more recent method for action refinement. The STAIRS method belongs to another tradition. It originates from the UML community and is designed to provide an understanding of refinement and fulfillment for UML. STAIRS distinguishes between potential and mandatory choice, where only the latter is required to by preserved by refinement. This paper investigates the relationship between the operators for choice in Event-B and STAIRS.

  UML sequence diagrams and similar notations are much used to specify and analyze computer systems and their requirements. Probabilities are often essential, in particular for capturing soft real-time constraints. It is also important to be able to specify systems at different levels of abstraction. Refinement is a means to relate abstract specifications to more concrete specifications in such a way that constraints and analysis results are preserved through the transition. In order to allow soft real-time constraints to be included as an integral part of sequence diagram specifications, this paper presents an approach to extend UML 2.x sequence diagrams to capture probabilistic choice in general and soft real-time constraints in particular. The approach is supported by formal semantics and pragmatic refinement relations with mathematical properties that allow stepwise and modular development of specifications. An example focusing on communication is provided to demonstrate the language and refinement relations.

  Risk analysis and testing are conducted for different purposes. Risk analysis and testing nevertheless involve processes that may be combined to the benefit of both. We may use testing to support risk analysis and risk analysis to support testing. This paper surveys literature on the combined use of risk analysis and testing. First, the existing approaches are identified through a systematic literature review. The identified approaches are then classified and discussed with respect to main goal, context of use and maturity level. The survey highlights the need for more structure and rigor in the definition and presentation of approaches. Evaluations are missing in most cases. The paper may serve as a basis for examining approaches for the combined use of risk analysis and testing, or as a resource for identifying the adequate approach to use.

  The last decade has seen several aspect language proposals for UML 2 sequence diagrams. Aspects allow the modeler to define crosscutting concerns of sequence diagrams and to have these woven with the sequence diagrams of a so-called base model, in order to create a woven model. In a real-world scenario, there may be multiple aspects applicable to the same base model. This raises the need to analyse the set of aspects to identify possible aspect interactions (dependencies and conflicts) between applications of aspects. We call a set of aspects terminating if they may not be applied infinitely many times for any given base model. Furthermore, we call a set of terminating aspects confluent, if they, for any given base model, always yield the same final result regardless of the order in which they are applied. Since confluence must hold for any base model, this is a much stronger result than many of the current approaches that have addressed detection of aspect interactions limited to a specific base model. Our aspects are specified using standard sequence diagrams with some extensions. In this paper, we present a confluence theory specialized for our highly expressive aspect language. For the most expressive aspects, we prove that confluence is undecidable. For another class of aspects with considerable expressiveness, we prescribe an algorithm to check confluence. This algorithm is based on what we call an extended critical pair analysis. These results are useful both for modelers and researchers working with sequence diagram aspects and for researchers wanting to establish a confluence theory for other aspect-oriented modelling or model transformation approaches.

  This article introduces a pattern language for security risk analysis of web applications in an example driven manner. The example patterns presented include a composite pattern and three basic patterns, namely a security requirements pattern, a web application design pattern and a risk analysis modelling pattern. The pattern language is intended to be used as a guideline to capture the security risk picture of a web application, especially in the early phase of the software development life cycle. The overall aim is to support light weighted security risk analysis for web applications.

  Having a sequence diagram specification and a computer system, we need to answer the question: Is the system compliant with the sequence diagram specification in the desired way? We present a procedure for answering this question for sequence diagrams with underspecification and inherent nondeterminism. The procedure is independent of any concrete technology, and relies only on the execution traces that may be produced by the system. If all traces are known, the procedure results in either “compliant” or “not compliant”. If only a subset of the traces is known, the conclusion may also be “likely compliant” or “likely not compliant”.

  DIAMONDS is a research project addressing the combination of security testing and risk analysis. The main objective is to develop guidelines and a supporting framework to help businesses find a balanced approach within the three-dimensional space of invested effort, security testing, and risk analysis. This report documents the conceptual framework for DIAMONDS by clarifying the notions of security testing, risk analysis, and related notions, as well as defining the relations among them.

  UML sequence diagrams and similar notations are much used to specify computer systems, serving for example as specifications for programmers, or as a means for validating requirements. When specifying and analyzing computer systems, probabilities are often essential, in particular for capturing soft real-time requirements. It is also important to be able to specify systems at different levels of abstraction, depending on how far the development has progressed and the purpose of the specification. Refinement is a means to relate abstract specifications to more concrete specifications in such a way that requirements and analysis results are preserved through the transition from the abstract to the more concrete level. This paper presents an approach to extend UML 2.x sequence diagrams to capture probabilistic choice in general and soft real-time requirements in particular.

  Having a sequence diagram specification and a computer system, we need to answer the question: Is the system compliant with the sequence diagram specification in the desired way? We present a procedure for answering this question for three variations of sequence diagrams. The procedure does not require access to information about the internals of the system such as program code. The semantics of sequence diagrams is denotational and based on traces. In order to answer the initial question, the procedure starts by obtaining a basic representation of the system by e.g. testing. This representation is then transformed into the same semantic model as that used for the sequence diagram. Finally, a formal definition of compliance is applied to determine whether the system complies with the specification. Compliance is closely related to refinement, and the definitions of compliance are based on refinement definitions. Therefore refinement as well as compliance is addressed. Compliance is not identical to refinement due to the partial nature of sequence diagram specifications. The work is split in two parts. Part 1 [RRS07] introduces the necessary definitions for using the compliance checking procedure on sequence diagrams with underspecification and sequence diagrams with inherent nondeterminism. This paper presents Part 2, in which we introduce the necessary definitions for using the compliance checking procedure on sequence diagrams with probabilistic choice. Part 1 is a necessary prerequisite for Part 2.Having a sequence diagram specification and a computer system, we need to answer the question: Is the system compliant with the sequence diagram specification in the desired way?
