Abstract
Tobias is a combinatorial testing tool that was used succesfully on several case studies. Currently, the evolution of the tool goes through a significant redevelopment effort. A first step is the production of an executable specification of the Tobias Test Generator. The goal of this specification effort is to provide a synthetic and precise description of Tobias to the developers of the new tool. The specification is expressed in the Z language, supported by the Jaza animator. The executable character of the specification is exploited (1) to assess non-regression of the specification with respect to the existing tool, and (2) to explore new functionalities for the tool.
Tobias是一个组合测试工具，已成功地用于几个案例研究。目前，该工具的发展经历了重大的再开发工作。第一步是生成Tobias Test Generator的可执行规范。该规范工作的目标是为新工具的开发人员提供Tobias的综合而精确的描述。该规范用Z语言表示，由Jaza动画器支持。规范的可执行特性被用于(1)评估与现有工具相关的规范的非回归性，以及(2)探索工具的新功能。
