Zusammenfassung:The MK++ kernel, a descendant of Mach, was designed and implemented at the Open Group Research Institute. Independently, Computational Logic Inc. had developed a formal specification for the Mach kernel interface. We report on the adaptation of this specification to MK++, and its use in the derivation of a testing strategy for the MK++ implementation. The results and utility of the tests are discussed.
