We present a systematic approach to the automatic generation of platform-independent benchmarks of tailored complexity for evaluating verification tools for reactive systems. Key to this approach is a tool chain that essentially transforms a set of automatically generated LTL properties into source code for various formats, platforms, and competition scenarios via a sequence of property-preserving steps. These steps go through dedicated representations in terms of Büchi Automata, Mealy machines, Decision Diagram Models, Code Models, and finally the source code of the chosen scenario. The required transformations comprise LTL synthesis, model checking, property-oriented expansion, path condition extraction, theorem proving, SAT solving, and code motion. This combination allows us to address different communities via a growing set of programming languages, tailored sets of programming constructs, different notions of observation, and the full variety of LTL properties – ranging from mere reachability over general safety properties to arbitrary liveness properties. The paper illustrates the whole tool chain along accompanying examples, emphasizes the current state of development, and sketches the envisioned potential and impact of our approach.
