Abstract

An application of interval arithmetic to software testing is described, which has its main importance for embedded systems, in particular safety critical systems. Interval arithmetic allows the full range of input data to be tested and derives predictions about possible variable range violation at runtime. Furthermore, due to a combination with an automatic differentiation-like calculus, it is possible to determine for each variable a sufficient number of digits which shall kept during calculation in order to prevent any serious cancellation.
