Dinkel: State-Aware and Granular Framework for Validating Graph Databases
Summary: Dinkel targets GDBMS testing with state-aware Cypher generation: models query context + graph schema to build complex, valid clause-by-clause queries while updating state on the fly. For validation, it uses semantics-preserving clause/expression rewrites as a general oracle, enabling 127 bugs found across 3 systems. (summarized by gpt-5.4-mini on Apr 12 2026)
