Abstract

An apparatus and method for semi-automated generation and application of language conformity tests is disclosed. Generation is based on interpretative or compiled processing of a generator-oriented, formal language specification embodying lexical, syntactic and semantics aspects of a language standard as well as specific test strategies. Such test strategies control the order and extent of the test sequence generated and applied. Both test case generation and application of test cases may occur in parallel.
