Abstract

After a brief overview, separate presentations are given on tools that support the testing process in a variety of ways. Some tools simulate the final execution environment as a way of expediting test execution, others automate the development of test plans, and still others collect performance data during execution. The tools address three aspects of the testing process. They provide a controlled environment in which testing can take place as well as test-data control, and some tools actually perform the tests, capturing and organizing the resulting output. The tools covered are: RUTE (Real-Time Unix Text Environment); Xray/DX; TDC (Testing and Debugging Concurrent) Ada; T; Mothra; Specification Analyzer; and Test inc.<>
