Abstract

This paper describes a unit testing framework for the languages which rely on rational relations to describe Natural Language Morphology. A test is divided into two parts: firstly compute a finite-state machine; secondly inspect this machine to compute its cardinality. The first part involves the finite-state machines to be tested and finite-state machines encoding the inputs of the test. A dependency relation is used to relate tests and the components of the description.
