This paper presents a framework for systematically animating specifications using testgraphs: directed graphs that partially model the specification being animated. Sequences for the animation are derived by traversing the test-graph. The framework provides a testgraph editor that allows users to edit test-graphs and supports automated testgraph traversal. Experience with the framework so far indicates that it can be used to effectively animate small to medium-sized specifications and that it can reveal a significant number of problems in these specifications.
