Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that verifies that a program method has been implemented for a program written in a dynamic programming language. During operation, the system receives a user request to check for an implementation of a program method (or method) that is called in the program. The system uses information in this user request to generate a testing method that determines whether a class associated with the method responds to a specific request. This testing method is executed at run-time to verify that the method is implemented for the program.
