Abstract

TSL is a language for writing formal test specifications of the functions of a software system. The test specifications are compiled into executable test scripts that establish test environments, assign values to input variables, perform necessary setup and cleanup operations, run the test cases, and check the correctness of test results. TSL is a working system that has been used to test commercial software in a production environment.
