Gray Box Robustness Testing of Rule Systems

Due to their simple and intuitive manner rules are often used for the implementation of intelligent systems. Besides general methods for the verification and validation of rule systems there exists only little research on the evaluation of their robustness with respect to faulty user inputs or partially incorrect rules. This paper introduces a gray box approach for testing the robustness of rule systems, thus including a preceding analysis of the utilized inputs and the application of background knowledge. The practicability of the approach is demonstrated by a case study.
