Abstract
In this paper we define a formal framework to test implementations that can be represented by the class of finite state machines
introduced in [10]. First, we introduce an appropriate notion of test. Next, we provide an algorithm to derive test suites
from specifications such that the constructed test suites are sound and complete with respect to two of the conformance relations
introduced in [10]. In fact, the current paper together with [10] constitute a complete formal theory to specify and test
the class of systems covered by the before mentioned stochastic finite state machines.
