Abstract
Test case generation from formal specifications is now a very mature field. Partial specification or viewpoints represents a co-operative approach in software specification. Although partial specification has a long history, only a little was done towards application of the methodology to formal test case generation. In this work we propose a categorical foundation of viewpoints oriented testing, obtaining a sound methods integration and a formal testing methodology for composite (heterogeneous) software systems. In particular, we plan to address the combination of specification based testing and test case generation from proofs.
