Abstract

This paper presents jUnitRV as a tool extending the unit testing framework jUnit by runtime verification capabilities. Roughly, jUnitRV provides a new annotation @Monitors listing monitors that are synthesized from temporal specifications. The monitors check whether the currently executed tests satisfy the correctness properties underlying the monitors. As such, jUnit’s concept of plain assert-based verification limited to checking properties of single states of a program is extended significantly towards checking properties of complete execution paths.
