“…This situation has been addressed by refactoring the collection framework using TraitTest (Ducasse et al, 2009). We make a different assumption here: the base system must be preserved, which implies that a refactoring is not desirable.…”

“…This method could then be overridden in subclasses (factory method design pattern (Gamma et al, 1995)). However, this solution is not always the best approach: First, tests of the collection libraries cannot be optimally organized using single inheritance (Ducasse et al, 2009). Second, the code to be reused may not always be editable and modifiable.…”

Generic programming is a mechanism for re-using code by abstracting specific types used in classes and programs. In this paper, we present a mechanism for adding generic programming in dynamically typed languages, showing how programmers can benefit from generic programming. Furthermore, we enhance the expressiveness of generic programming with reverse generics, a mechanism for automatically deriving new generic code starting from existing non-generic one. We implemented generics and reverse generics in Pharo Smalltalk, and we successfully used them to solve a problem of reusing unit test cases. This helped us to identify a number of bugs and anomalies in the stream class hierarchy.
