RATest: Explaining Wrong Relational Queries Using Small Examples
Summary: RATest finds small counterexamples D' ⊆ D where Q(D') ≠ Q0(D'), enabling concise debugging of incorrect queries. Using data provenance and constraint solving, it handles differences and group-by at interactive speed in classroom regression-testing. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
