A test suite generation method is proposed for conformance testing of communication protocols to solve the problem of generating test sequences for protocol specification models that have memories. A program verification technique called axiomatic semantics, is used to test protocols specified by extended finite state machines (EFSMs). While an EFSM is verified by the technique, observable events are recorded. By carefully manipulating the execution path in EFSM, the observed events can be used to examine the correctness of the protocol implementations
