MultithreadedTC

Overview of MultithreadedTC - Dept. of Computer Science, UMD
MultithreadedTC is different. It supports test cases that exercise a specific interleaving of threads. This is motivated by the principle that concurrent applications should be built using small concurrent abstractions such as bounded buffers, semaphores and latches. Separating the concurrency logic from the rest of the application logic in this way makes it easier to understand and test concurrent applications. Since these abstractions are small, it should be possible to deterministically test every (significant) interleaving in separate tests.
