Testing Isolation Levels of Relational Database Management Systems
Summary: HISTEX executes and analyzes operation histories—including predicate reads—to test isolation-level correctness and phantom protection in commercial RDBMSs. Comparative and gray-box testing exposes both concurrency-control violations and unnecessarily restrictive implementations. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
