    <Paragraph position="0"> I have 1)resented the adaptation of code instrmnentation to Grammar Engineering, discussing measures and iml)lementations, and sketching several applications together with preliminary results.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The main application is to iml)rove grammar and testsuite by exl)loring the relation between both of them. Viewed this way, testsuite writing can benefit from grammar developnlent because both describe the syntactic constructions of a natural language. Testsuites systematically list; these constructions, while grammars give generative procedures to construct them. Since there are currently many more grammars than testsuites, we may re-use the work that has gone into the grmnmars for the improvement of testsuites.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> Other al)l)lications of instrumentation are possi1)le; genre adal)tation was discussed in some depth. On a more general level, one may ask whether other methods fl'om SE may fruitflflly al)ply to GE as well, 1)ossibly in modified form. For example, the static analysis of programs, e.g., detection of unreachable code, could also be applied for grammar development to detect unusable rules.</Paragraph>
