Abstract

During the development of an embedded system, state transition models are frequently used for modeling at several abstraction levels. Unfortunately, specification documents including such model are often lost or not up to date during maintenance/reuse. Based on our experience in industrial collaboration, we present Micro State Transition Table (MSTT) to help developers understanding embedded code based on a fine-grained state transition model. We also discuss the challenges of static recovery of an MSTT.
