Danny will present a work he has done in my course Technology of Logic
Programming on program transformation. The method of Burstall and
Darlington is translated into resolution-based theorem proving and
applied to logic programs. The method is subsequently extended beyond
the limits of the functional approach.

ABSTRACT: Functional testing or "black-box testing has been recognized
for a long time as an important aspect of software validation. With
the emrgence of formal specification methods it becomes possible to
found functional testing on a rigorous basis. This lecture presents a
method of generating sets of test data from algebraic specifications.
The method has been impelemted using Prolog. It turns out that Prolog
is avery well-suited tool for generating sets of test data in this context.
