Acetone Agents: AI-ACETONE Capstone Website

Sponsored by SanDisk, this project focuses on generating practical test objectives from model-checker counterexamples using TLA+, TLC, and an AI-assisted workflow.

Project Focus

The team is building a pipeline that starts from formal properties in a TLA+ specification, negates selected expectations, runs TLC, and converts resulting counterexample traces into directed, actionable software test objectives.

This archive site tracks deliverables, team updates, and implementation artifacts throughout the semester.

Architecture Snapshot

  1. 1. Parse TLA+ model and property set
  2. 2. Generate candidate negations for critical properties
  3. 3. Run TLC checks and capture traces
  4. 4. Map traces into structured test objectives
  5. 5. Track outcomes and refinements in iteration reports

Roadmap

  • Phase 1: Site FoundationComplete: archival site structure, team identity, doc library.
  • Phase 2: Core Prototype IntegrationIn progress: pipeline outputs, trace parsing artifacts, and generated objectives.
  • Phase 3: Architecture + UML UpdatesPlanned: maintain up-to-date diagrams and rationale as architecture evolves.
  • Phase 4: Final Capstone ArchivePlanned: final demo links, validation evidence, polished documentation.
