Abstract
This paper describes the project Quality-for-ASIS, aiming at the development of an extensive testing facility for ASIS implementations. First the specific problems and requirements are presented. After a section about the basic concepts of ASIS and after a short introduction to testing, the designs and implementations for testing important subsets of ASIS are described. Finally, adequacy coverage statistics for a test set based on the ACVC compiler validation suite are provided.
Paper accepted for publication in the proceedings of the International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies - Ada-Europe'98, Uppsala, Sweden, June 8–12, 1998, Lars Asplund (Ed.), LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), Springer, 1998.
