SynTest Framework - Common Core

The aim of the common core of the SynTest framework is to extract the common parts (e.g., framework infrastructure, search algorithms, encodings) of the different language specific SynTest Tools.

The common core of the SynTest Framework.

What is SynTest?

SynTest is a framework for automating the generation of test cases based on JavaScript. This library is not meant to be used directly. To make use of the framework, please use one of the specific implementation for the different supported languages (e.g., Solidity and JavaScript/Typescript). These implementations can be found in the SynTest Framework organization.

Overview

The common core contains the common interfaces for the code control-flow representation, test case structure, genes, and the implementation for the meta-heuristic search algorithms.

For more in-depth information about the architecture we refer to: Architecture.
