SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING AN ABSTRACT SYNTAX TREE TO ENCAPSULATE THE DESCRIPTIVE ASSERTIONS IN AN ANNOTATION BASED STANDARD INTO A CODE BASED LIBRARY

摘要

A system and method can support compliance tests with annotation based standards using an expectation library. The expectation library can convert one or more descriptive assertions into a structured data model, wherein the one or more descriptive assertions describe one or more annotations. Furthermore, the expectation library can parse a source file that contains the one or more annotations based on the structured data model. Additionally, the expectation library can obtain information related to the one or more annotations of the source file from the structured data model.
