Abstract

Database systems play an important role in nearly every modern organization, yet relatively little research effort has focused on how to test them. AGENDA, A (test) GENerator for Database Applications, is a research prototype tool set for testing DB application programs. In testing such applications, the states of the database before and after execution play an important role, along with the user's input and system output. AGENDA components populate the database, generate inputs, and check aspects of the correctness of output and new DB state.
