  text: We introduce a structured methodology for the generation of executable test
    environments from textual requirement specifications via UML class diagrams and
    the application of the classification tree methodology for embedded systems. The
    first phase is a stepwise transformation from unstructured English text into a
    textual normal form (TNF), which is automatically translated into UML class diagrams.
    After annotations of the class diagrams and the definition of test cases by sequence
    diagrams, both are converted into classification trees. From the classification
    trees we can finally generate SystemVerilog code. The methodology is introduced
    and evaluated by the example of an Adaptive Cruise Controller.
