Description: Monolith offers facilities for testing an OCaml library (for
instance, a data structure implementation) by comparing it against a reference
implementation. It can be used to perform either random testing or fuzz
testing. Fuzz testing relies on the external tool afl-fuzz.
The user must describe what types and operations the library provides. Under
the best circumstances, this requires 2-3 lines of code per type or operation.
The user must also provide a reference implementation and a candidate
implementation of the library.
Then, like a monkey typing on a keyboard, Monolith attempts to exercise the
library in every possible way, in the hope of discovering a sequence of
operations that leads to an unexpected behavior (that is, a situation where the
library either raises an unexpected exception or returns an incorrect result).
If such a scenario is discovered, it is printed in the form of an OCaml
program, so as to help the user reproduce the problem.
Monolith assumes that the candidate implementation behaves in a deterministic
way. (Without this assumption, one cannot hope to reliably produce a
problematic scenario.) It does however allow nondeterministic specifications,
that is, situations where the candidate implementation is allowed to behave in
several possible ways.
