  ABSTRACT: The work presents some new algorithms realized recently in the package TESTAS. The package decides whether or not DFA is synchronizing, several procedures find relatively short synchronizing words and a synchronizing word of the minimal length. We check whether or not a directed graph has a road coloring that turns the graph into a synchronizing deterministic finite automaton (DFA). The algorithm finds the coloring if it exists. Otherwise, the k-synchronizing road coloring can be found. We use a linear visualization of the graph of an automaton based on its structural properties.
