Abstract: The aim of this paper is to propose a method based ECP Metamorphic Relation (ECPMR) to test compilers. First, we select some correct programs with specific metamorphic relations as inputs of the under-test compiler. Then, we use these selected programs to generate program slices. Finally, we check whether the outputs of these program slices satisfy the ECPMR to find bugs in the compiler. Our proposed method is verified through experimental study on SNL compiler and the results show that this method is effective to detect bugs in SNL compiler.

Key words: computer systems organization, metamorphic relation, metamorphic testing, compiler testing, program slice
