Its benefits have been demonstrated for more than 15 years to test imperative programs. Other programming paradigms, like logic programming, have received less attention. In this paper, we present a concolic-based test generation method for logic programs. Our approach exploits SMT-solving for constraint resolution. We then describe the implementation of a concolic testing tool for Prolog and validate it on some selected benchmarks.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.07115v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.07115v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-smt-based-concolic-testing-tool-for-logic","repo_url":"https://github.com/sfortz/Pl_Concolic_Testing","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
