Sequence Import/Export

Technique

Sequence Import/Export is a testing technique for converting instruction traces to and from a human-readable format, enabling terminal reporting and trace-file workflows. In the cited TestRIG context, traces can be read and written individually or in bulk from a directory, which supports maintaining a regression-test library of previous counterexamples.

Overview

Sequence Import/Export is a technique for handling instruction traces in a human-readable representation. The cited TestRIG paper describes instruction traces as convertible both to and from this format, supporting use in terminal reporting as well as file-based trace workflows. [C1]
