description: Asynchronous communication mechanisms are usually a basic ingredient of distributed systems and protocols. For these systems, asynchronous may-based testing seems to be exactly what is needed to capture safety and certain security properties. We study may testing equivalence focusing on the asynchronous versions of CCS and π-calculus. We start from an operational testing preorder and provide finitary and fully abstract trace-based interpretations for it, together with complete inequational axiomatizations. The results throw light on the differences between synchronous and asynchronous systems and on the weaker testing power of asynchronous observations.
