HOL-TestGen

HOL-TestGen is a is a test case generator for specification based unit testing. HOL-TestGen is built on top of the specfication and theorem proving environment Isabelle/HOL.

HOL-TestGen allows one to

• write test specifications in Higher-order logics (HOL)
• (semi-) automatically partition the input space, resulting in abstract test cases
• automatically select concrete test data
• automatically generate test scripts (in SML)
• using a foreign language interface, implementations in arbitrary languages (e.g. C) can be tested.

HOL-TestGen is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of a BSD-style licence. HOL-TestGen 1.5 has been deposited in the Agency for the protection of programs (APP) IDDN.FR.001.220032.000.S.A.2011.000.10000 (Signed Paris, 3.6. 2011). It is developed by Achim D. Brucker, Lukas Brügger, Matthias Krieger, and Burkhart Wolff.
