Conformance testing using test sequences is the main means to ensure that a protocol implementation conforms to its specification. For systems which are specified by nondeterministic finite state machines, a commonly used technique to generate test sequences is the generalized Wp-method with reset which often yields long test sequences if no reliable reset function exists in the system. In this paper, we propose a bipartite graph matching approach to optimize test sequences generated using the generalized Wp-method for protocol conformance testing. Our approach significantly reduces the length of the test sequences required for conformance testing while maintaining the same fault detection capability.
