Apache Ant Tasks is an XML based definition
format that is typically executed in a Java
runtime. It can provide a platform independent
model (PIM) for a variety of tasks. We began
using Ant Tasks for some testing automatization
in Dogelog Prolog.

We faced some challenges in defining the test
cases Prolog code as a single point of
truth (SPOT). By code refactoring and using
common features we arrived at covering Dogelog
Player, formerly Jekejeke Prolog, SWI-Prolog
and Trealla Prolog under one umbrella.

By means of argv Prolog flag and the initialzation/1
directive we wrote an universal testing scripts.
By further using Prolog system specific facades and
operating system specific Ant imports, we could
semi-automate the generation of a HTML report that
combines different Prolog system results
across Windows 10 and WSL2.
