  • Processing an Intermediate Representation Written in Lisp
    Processing an Intermediate Representation Written in Lisp Ricardo Pena,˜ Santiago Saavedra, Jaime Sanchez-Hern´ andez´ Complutense University of Madrid, Spain∗ [email protected],[email protected],[email protected] In the context of designing the verification platform CAVI-ART, we arrived to the need of deciding a textual format for our intermediate representation of programs. After considering several options, we finally decided to use S-expressions for that textual representation, and Common Lisp for processing it in order to obtain the verification conditions. In this paper, we discuss the benefits of this decision. S-expressions are homoiconic, i.e. they can be both considered as data and as code. We exploit this duality, and extensively use the facilities of the Common Lisp environment to make different processing with these textual representations. In particular, using a common compilation scheme we show that program execution, and verification condition generation, can be seen as two instantiations of the same generic process. 1 Introduction Building a verification platform such as CAVI-ART [7] is a challenging endeavour from many points of view. Some of the tasks require intensive research which can make advance the state of the art, as it is for instance the case of automatic invariant synthesis. Some others are not so challenging, but require a lot of pondering and discussion before arriving at a decision, in order to ensure that all the requirements have been taken into account. A bad or a too quick decision may have a profound influence in the rest of the activities, by doing them either more difficult, or longer, or more inefficient.

  • Foundational Property-Based Testing
    Foundational Property-Based Testing Zoe Paraskevopoulou1,2 Cat˘ alin˘ Hrit¸cu1 Maxime Den´ es` 1 Leonidas Lampropoulos3 Benjamin C. Pierce3 1Inria Paris-Rocquencourt 2ENS Cachan 3University of Pennsylvania Abstract Integrating property-based testing with a proof assistant creates an interesting opportunity: reusable or tricky testing code can be formally verified using the proof assistant itself. In this work we introduce a novel methodology for formally verified property-based testing and implement it as a foundational verification framework for QuickChick, a port of QuickCheck to Coq. Our frame- work enables one to verify that the executable testing code is testing the right Coq property. To make verification tractable, we provide a systematic way for reasoning about the set of outcomes a random data generator can produce with non-zero probability, while abstracting away from the actual probabilities. Our framework is firmly grounded in a fully verified implementation of QuickChick itself, using the same underlying verification methodology. We also apply this methodology to a complex case study on testing an information-flow control abstract machine, demonstrating that our verification methodology is modular and scalable and that it requires minimal changes to existing code. 1 Introduction Property-based testing (PBT) allows programmers to capture informal conjectures about their code as executable specifications and to thoroughly test these conjectures on a large number of inputs, usually randomly generated. When a counterexample is found it is shrunk to a minimal one, which is displayed to the programmer. The original Haskell QuickCheck [19], the first popular PBT tool, has inspired ports to every mainstream programming language and led to a growing body of continuing research [6,18,26,35,39] and industrial interest [2,33].

  • Specification Based Testing with Quickcheck
    Specification Based Testing with QuickCheck (Tutorial Talk) John Hughes Chalmers University of Technology and QuviQ AB ABSTRACT QuickCheck is a tool which tests software against a formal specification, reporting discrepancies as minimal failing examples. QuickCheck uses properties specified by the developer both to generate test cases, and to identify failing tests. A property such as 8xs : list(int()): reverse(reverse(xs)) = xs is tested by generating random lists of integers, binding them to the variable xs, then evaluating the boolean expression under the quantifier and reporting a failure if the value is false. If a failing test case is found, QuickCheck “shrinks” it by searching for smaller, but similar test cases that also fail, terminating with a minimal example that cannot be shrunk further. In this example, if the developer accidentally wrote 8xs : list(int()): reverse(xs) = xs instead, then QuickCheck would report the list [0; 1] as the minimal failing case, containing as few list elements as possible, with the smallest absolute values possible. The approach is very practical: QuickCheck is implemented just a library in a host programming language; it needs only to execute the code under test, so requires no tools other than a compiler (in particular, no static analysis); the shrinking process “extracts the signal from the noise” of random testing, and usually results in very easy-to-debug failures. First developed in Haskell by Koen Claessen and myself, QuickCheck has been emulated in many programming languages, and in 2006 I founded QuviQ to develop and market an Erlang version. Of course, customers’ code is much more complex than the simple reverse function above, and requires much more complex properties to test it.
