| Abstract |
|
Nowadays, test cases may correspond to elaborate programs.
It is therefore sensible to try to specify test cases
in order to get a more abstract view of these. This paper
explores the notion of test purpose as a way to specify a
set of test cases. It shows how test purposes are exploited
today by several tools that automate the generation of test
cases. It presents the major relations that link test purposes,
test cases and reference specification. It also explores the
similarities and differences between the specification of test
cases, and the specification of programs. This opens perspectives
for the synthesis and the verification of test cases,
and for other activities like test case retrieval.
