Verification of dynamic behaviours of a program is usually conducted by executing the program on the target platform under different test cases and observing the results. This paper investigates the use of static analysis to verify some aspects of dynamic behaviours including state transitions and sequences of interaction between program components. The paper describes an algorithm to extract a model of state transition directly from source code, regardless of the programming style; and the method of generating execution scenarios from the model to compare with use cases. Our experiments show that this static method is effective in detecting possible coding errors.
