TestTalk: A Comprehensive Testing Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software tests are intellectual assets that are as valuable as source code. Over the long term, maintainable software tests significantly lower a project's cost. It is very difficult, however, to write maintainable software tests, especially executable ones. Existing approaches including natural languages, tabular formats, scripting and programming languages, and several test description languages are all problematic. The solution we propose is TestTalk, a test description language that provides mechanisms to specify software tests while separating the various concerns of automated software testing.
