Abstract

Combinatorial testing has proven to be a very valuable testing technique for automated generation of test suites given the domain of the inputs and the configuration parameters. In order to fully automate combinatorial testing, however, there is a need for an automated test oracle. In case of testing logic-based non-monotonic reasoning systems, we show how to generate test cases and how to make use of metamorphic testing in order to provide a test oracle. The combined testing method allows for complete test automation. We further discuss first experimental results obtained for an implementation of an assumption-based truth maintenance system implementing basic non-monotonic reasoning capabilities.
