We released a new version of JavaCC last week in conjunction with a
source code coverage tool called JavaScope. JavaScope has been
integrated with JavaCC to offer grammar coverage checking. (JavaCC is
a parser generator for Java.)


Essentially, with such a capability, you can measure how much you have
tested your grammar by taking a look at what parts of the grammar have
and have not been exercised by your test inputs.


JavaCC is available at the usual place http://www.suntest.com/JavaCC/
and JavaScope is available from http://www.suntest.com/JavaScope/.


I'm quite excited about the grammar coverage concept - please try it
out and let me know how useful you think it is.


Sriram.
