ABSTRACT
To improve the design of a power control unit at Philips,
two Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) have been used.
The first DSL provides a concise and readable notation for the essential state transitions.
It is used to generate both configuration files and analysis models.
In addition, we also generate instances of a second DSL which represents test traces.
This second DSL is used to generate test cases for the power control unit.
The use of DSLs not only improved productivity,
but also the quality of the configuration files and the test set.
