PROGTEST: A Computer System for the Analysis of Computational Computer Programs.

Steve Bravy

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This system assists the testing and debugging of computational computer programs by generating test points for the tested program at each test point. This information may be used to infer the operation of, or to predict output values of an operational program as well. The performance data highlighting input variable sensitivities is analyzed further by one of the components of the system. This writeup contains complete documentation of the system, including description of the methodology, sample outputs, flowcharts and listings. The package is written in UNIVAC's FORTRAN V.
