N2 - Counting the number of solutions of true and false quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs) has received increased interest in recent years. However, the explicit enumeration of all solutions for a QBF is almost unexplored so far. For QBF solution counting, it has been shown that enumeration-based counting as employed in SAT is not complete for QBF. Solution enumeration runs into the same problem. We propose a refinement-based approach to enumerate (all) solutions of true and false QBFs. To this end, we develop a novel framework to characterize the enumeration problem at quantifier level two and present a complete enumeration algorithm that can be interrupted at any time as soon as enough solutions are found. We evaluated our implementation called QEnum in three different case studies.
