ARVE: aspect-oriented runtime verification environment

Software quality assurance activities consume a large amount of effort in industrial software developments. Actually, industrial software development sometimes requires a larger amount of testing/verification assets than the product code itself. Appropriate management of the testing/verification assets will effectively reduce the software quality assurance effort. We propose a verification asset reuse environment based on the aspect-oriented programming paradigm. Our tool, ARVE (Aspect-oriented Runtime Verification Environment), enables efficient verification asset reuse thanks to the aspect-oriented scripting language. ARVE also promotes the efficiency of the verification process by automating the verification script weaving.
