摘要
This paper presents a new test case generation technology, specifically targeted at verifying systems that include address translation mechanisms. The ever-growing demand for performance makes these mechanisms more complex, thereby increasing the risk of bugs and increasing the need for such technology. DeepTrans is a package that provides model-based test generation capabilities to verify translation mechanisms based on a modeling language. The modeling language includes constructs for describing the address translation process, commonly used translation resources, and architecture rules related to translation. DeepTrans is currently used by two different IBM test generators.
