  • Process for performing at least one test on at least one of the objects of an object-oriented program capable of running in parallel on a computer
    Patent number: 6370589
    Abstract: The description of the invention relates to a process for performing tests by means of which functionality and the real-time behavior of objects derived from concurrent classes can be tested. The particular advantage of the process according to the invention is that it is not individual objects that are instrumented for test purposes, but rather that the operating system is instrumented for test purposes. Furthermore, one major advantage lies in the fact that allocation information of source code to object code is used during testing which provides the programmer with a simple means of inputting test scenarios.
