Abstract

While a number of techniques to further improve firmware quality and design stability and to reduce firmware field problems over the long term were introduced with the IBM z900 and z990, a second wave of techniques were introduced for the IBM System z10™ platform. This paper describes the three new techniques: an enhanced static code analysis tool, code coverage, and simulation improvements.
