Sumario:The article discusses software testing. A software test called TACCLE tests an automated assembly system in which the expected outcomes cannot be precisely defined and the actual results cannot be directly observed. The authors explain how their testing tool, which consists of three components, including a specification editor to capture the requirements defined by process engineers, automated black-box testing that bypasses the need for precise oracles, and semiautomated integration of box testing to check consistency, works.
