Abstract
A declarative user interface for testing graphics programs is associated with an API that, when used in a program executable on a general-purpose processor, specifies (i) a graphics program to be tested, where the graphics program is stored on a computer-readable medium and includes instructions executable on a graphics card, (ii) a test input to be applied to the graphics program, and (iii) an expected result of executing the graphics program on the graphics card when the test input is applied to the graphics program. A test code generator, when executed on the general-purpose processor, is configured to (i) process a test specification program that invokes the API to specify the graphics program, the test input, and the expected result, and (ii) automatically generate a test graphics program based on the specified graphics program to be executed on the graphics card to test the graphics program.
