Now that everything's a whole, the section about W-method seems out of place. Shouldn't this be moved to variants, possibly replacing / merging with the section 'No EQUIV(M) queries?'
@StefanBoodt I know this is almost exactly what you've commented on the variants PR, but I'd like to remind you that the variants PR was opened a few days prior to the W-method PR ;p
@gfokkema I actually agree. I also made a comment that is was strange that only the W-method was discussed. The "No EQUIV(M)" section is actually perfect for the W-Method (or other methods that are mentionend in other papers)
I think it is best to merge the W-method and NO EQUIV pieces as well. I think the short description is necessary as well as the lower bound of the method. Of course the fact that this method provides a guarantee to a certain degree must also be mentioned. The NO EQUIV is indeed a proper place to discuss the W-method.
@gfokkema I'd like to remind you that I opened the PR when the piece was finished, not when I was started writing, as was done in the Variants PR.
@alangerak I want to remind you that the W-method is the method to use to validate the FSM. Generating a long path is a different variant (No resets) and random sampling does not prove anything.
After checking we now have 6908 words in the pdf linked in the description of this PR. Since we have a 7000 words limit, shouldn't we be cautious about adding any additional words? I simply wanted to state the number of words.
Yes we should watch out, thanks for checking @StefanBoodt. There's probably some duplicate explanations here and there. I will try to remove some in my PR #15.
As the title says, make it one story instead of 3 stories by different people.
Links for everyone's convenience:
6 Variants
9 Mealy
8 W-method
Please note that this PR is based on #13, and therefore also includes (parts of) #7, #11 and #12. Some more recent commits are not included in #13, notably the latest commits by @alangerak.
