ABSTRACT

Test Generator

tg is a program that helps testing software. If you want to test a piece of software, that normally means you have to execute it over and over again, passing various sets of input data to it, and verifying that it gives the correct results for each input. You normally write a program that does all this automatically. Such a program is called a "test driver".

tg can generate such test driver programs, given a very succinct description of the individual test cases. tg translates this description into a complete Ada program. If you compile this test driver, link it with the software you want to test, and execute it, it performs all the test cases and tells you whether the software under test behaved as expected or not.
