Abstract

Declarative modelling languages, such as Alloy, are becoming popular for describing behavioural requirements very early in system development because automated analysis of these models provides valuable feedback. Typically, these languages are supported by constraint solvers (SAT, SMT) for providing instances or model checking properties. However, a user can quickly find simple bugs and gain confidence in their model by concretely simulating steps of the transition system. We present ALDB: a debugger for models of transition systems written in the Alloy language. It provides a familiar debugging interface to walk around in the behaviour of the model, enabling users to quickly explore scenarios, find errors via concrete simulation, and incrementally build up to bounded model checking.
ALDB:调试行为需求合金模型
声明性建模语言,比如Alloy,在系统开发的早期就开始流行,因为对这些模型的自动化分析提供了有价值的反馈。通常,约束求解器(SAT、SMT)支持这些语言,以提供实例或模型检查属性。但是,通过具体模拟过渡系统的步骤,用户可以快速找到简单的错误,并对他们的模型获得信心。我们提出了ALDB:一个用Alloy语言编写的转换系统模型的调试器。它提供了一个熟悉的调试界面,可以在模型的行为中走动,使用户能够快速探索场景,通过具体的模拟发现错误,并逐步构建有界模型检查。
