Systematic generation of glass-box test cases for functional logic programs
Sebastian Fischer, Herbert Kuchen · 2007
We employ the narrowing-based execution mechanism of the functional logic programming language Curry in order to automatically generate a system of test cases for glass-box testing of Curry programs. The test cases for a given function are computed by narrowing a call to that function with initially uninstantiated arguments. The generated test cases are produced w.r.t. a selected code-coverage criterion such as control-flow coverage. Besides an adaption of the notion of control-flow coverage to functional (logic) programming, we present a novel coverage criterion for this programming paradigm. A particular difficulty of the adaption is the handling of laziness.
