<p>This thesis aims to develop an automatic testing tool for StreamBits, a programming</p><p>language for parallel stream processing, currently being developed by Jerker Bengtsson at</p><p>Halmstad University as part of his PhD project. StreamBits is an extension of StreamIT,</p><p>developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), to include features that make</p><p>it more suitable for 3G baseband applications.</p><p>The cost of verifying the functionality of software has lead to the development of several</p><p>tools for automatizing the testing process. These tools are all language specific, therefore</p><p>a tool for StreamBits needs to be developed. This is done by evaluating the techniques</p><p>used in other test tools designed for other programming languages and use this information</p><p>to create a test tool suitable for StreamBits. The goal is to make a user friendly</p><p>tool with capability of performing both specification tests and verification of stream rates.</p><p>The results of our project are a well functioning specification based testing tool implemented</p><p>as a package in the Java StreamBits framework. The tool can test properties</p><p>of programs using specifications written as Java predicates and can verify stream rates</p><p>for single threaded parts of StreamBit programs. The tool can also handle, and perform</p><p>tests on StreamBit programs that cause the framework to stall. For each test performed</p><p>a detailed log is generated including results from the specification test and stream rate</p><p>test.</p>
