ABSTRACT
Axioms, known from program specification, allow program functionality to be described as rules or equations. The draft C++0x standard introduces axioms as part of the new concept feature. We will demonstrate a tool that uses these features for automated unit testing.

Testing with concepts and axioms in C++
OOPSLA Companion '08: Companion to the 23rd ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programming systems languages and applicationsUnit testing is a popular way of increasing software reliability. Axioms, known from program specification, allow functionality to be described as rules or equations. We show a method and prototype tool for using the proposed concept and axiom features ...
