However, that is practically difficult to achieve because the inputs/outputs of a query depend on the content of the test database. In this paper, we propose a framework to test DBMS features. The framework includes a database generator called $QAGen$ so that the generated test databases are able to meet the test requirements defined on the test queries. The framework also includes a set of tools to automate test case constructions and test executions. A wide range of DBMS feature testing tasks can be facilitated by the proposed framework. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{database testing; data generation; symbolic query processing; symbolic execution} \itemli{doi:10.1007/s00778-009-0157-y} \end
