Abstract :
This paper illustrates the power and flexibility of a new approach to creating conformance test suites for open systems software standards such as POSIX. The approach incorporates an automated process for the generation and validation of conformance tests. The automated process has been implemented and comprises key components of the Clemson Automated Testing System (CATS). CATS is a testing facility designed to provide a life-cycle support environment for the development of conformance tests. This paper introduces the CATS facility and presents examples of its use
