| Abstract Text | Recently, there have been various attempts to set up a test suite covering the syntactic phenomena of a natural language (cp. Flickinger et al. 1989, Nerbonne et al. 1993). The latest effort is the TSNLP project (Test Suite for Natural Language Processing) within the Linguistic Research and Engineering (LRE) framework sponsored by the European Union (cp. Balkan et al. 1994). These test suites are meant for the testing of NLP software regarding their coverage of syntactic phenomena. Volk 1995 showed that a well-organised test suite can also be used to support incremental grammar development and grammar documentation. The key issues in the organisation of a test suite are the ease of extensibility and interchangeability as well as the avoidance of redundancy. We have implemented a test suite, which is optimized for the avoidance of redundancy and we report on the trade-off for extensibility and interchangeability. |
