This is a "heads up" about a workshop on test automation that I just joined the programme committee of. Automation of Software Test will be co-located with ICSE in Cape Town in May--the workshop home page is here:
http://www.cs.allegheny.edu/ast2010/
Tools like QuickCheck, SmallCheck and HUnit fit the call for papers perfectly. So if you're doing some interesting automated testing in Haskell, why not submit a paper about it, and show a new audience what the Haskell community is up to? Both research papers and case studies are welcome, and the latter can even be in the form of a presentation of up to 15 slides--so there's no excuse for not putting something together!
Recently we added a unit testing framework to Atom: a haskell DSL for hard realtime embedded applications. The framework hooks into Atom's assertion and functional coverage statements and provides some basic randomization utilities for automatic test generation. We've used this framework to test the embedded software of Eaton's parallel hydraulic hybrid application (HLA). One nice feature we've incorporated for our application is in the event of an assertion violation, simulation data is formated such that we can use the same analysis and debug tools that we use for real vehicle telemetry. I don't think we can make it to Cape Town, but I'll see if one of us can write up a case study. (Shruti, Tejas, Jake, any interest?) Here's an example test log from Language.Atom.Unit: pass: processTest1 cycles = 1000 pass: dualProcessTest cycles = 1000 pass: processNoDeactivationGuard cycles = 1000 pass: processNoActivationGuard cycles = 1000 pass: processDuelingProcesses cycles = 1000 pass: arbiterTest1 cycles = 1000 pass: arbiterTest2 cycles = 1000 pass: arbiterTest3 cycles = 1000 pass: arbiterTest8 cycles = 1000 pass: arbiterTest10 cycles = 1000 pass: absDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: cruiseControlDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: engineSpeedDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: pumpSpeedDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: ignitionDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: selectedGearDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: currentGearDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: modeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: commissioningProcessDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: canEEC1DisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: canEEC2DisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: canETC1DisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: canETC2DisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: canEBCDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: canECCDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: driverisolationFaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: drivermodeDrainFaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: drivermodeFillFaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: drivermainBypassFaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: driverchargeBypassFaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: driverclutch1FaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: driverclutch2FaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: driverclutch3FaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: driverpumpFaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: drivermotorFaultDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: coolerFanOnOffTest cycles = 40000 pass: stateTransitionTest cycles = 75000 pass: swashCmdInBootstrapTest cycles = 40000 pass: brakePressureAboveRangeAndTxSpeedDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: brakePressureAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: accumulatorPressureBelowRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: accumulatorPressureAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: sawsh1BelowRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: swash1AboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: swash2BelowRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: swash2AboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: swashDiffOnBoundaryDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: swashDiffAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: pumpCaseOilTempCAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: pumpCaseOilTempCBelowRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: pumpCaseOilTempCBoundaryDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: reservoirOilTempCAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: reservoirOilTempCBelowRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: reservoirOilTempCBoundaryDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: tempSensorMiscompareAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: tempSensorMiscompareBoundaryDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: reservoirOilTempCTooExtremeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: reservoirOilTempCTooExtremeBoundaryDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: reservoirOilLevelGalLDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: reservoirOilLevelGalHDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: pumpSpeedAboveRangeLDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: pumpSpeedAboveRangeHDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: accumOverPressureBoundaryDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: accumOverPressureAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: filterPressureBelowRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: filterPressureAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: 5VSupplyBelowRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: 5VSupplyAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: 12VSupplyBelowRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: 12VSupplyAboveRangeDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: stuckEngagedDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: stuckOilLevelDisengagementTest cycles = 35000 pass: clutchdisengagementFaultTest cycles = 40000 pass: clutchSensorMiscompareFault cycles = 40000 pass: clutchSensorMiscompareFaultAbovePumpSpeedandabsRangeTest cycles = 40000 pass: clutchSensorMiscompareFaultAbovePumpSpeedandBelowabsRangeTest cycles = 40000 pass: clutchSensorMiscompareFaultBoundaryTest cycles = 40000 pass: clutchSensorMiscompareFaultAboveRangeTest cycles = 40000 pass: unexpectedDisengagementTest cycles = 40000 pass: failedEngagementAttemptsTest cycles = 40000 pass: fanOffTest cycles = 30000 pass: evuTest cycles = 30000 pass: swashCalTest cycles = 40000 pass: seedKey32Test1 cycles = 100 pass: seedKey32Test2 cycles = 100 pass: seedKey32Test3 cycles = 100 pass: seedKey32Test4 cycles = 100 pass: seedKey32Test5 cycles = 100 pass: seedKey32Test6 cycles = 100 pass: seedKey32Test7 cycles = 100 Total Passing Tests : 90 / 90 Total Simulation Cycles : 2650700 Total Function Coverage : 102 / 102 GREEN LIGHT
So how about it? It would be great to see some Haskell papers at the workshop! Deadline 20 January.
