Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a new test method for constraint programs designed to find routes in a network. These programs have two kinds of constraints, one finds all routes in the network (constrains on structures) and the other filters the found routes by their own qualities (constraints on qualities). The traditional test method for constraints on structures checks one by one whether solutions of constraint programs are appropriate as routes in sample networks. However, this check is too difficult, because we generally obtain a large number of solutions. Our method transforms the constraints into the disjunctive normal form and generates solution templates (solution models) from the conjunctive terms. We can test by checking each solution model. This paper shows the effectiveness of our method by comparing the number of solutions with that of solution models.
