Abstract :
Testing a real-time system is not an easy thing, because the notion of time is not under control. In this paper, we present different formal models of specification that introduce time. We use one of these, the extended-time input-output state machine, to develop an algorithm to create a canonical tester which is used afterwards for producing test sequences with time
