Abstract

See full text

Testing computer software applications is performed by identifying first and second executable portions of the computer software application, where the portions are configured to access a data resource, and where at least one of the portions is configured to write to the data resource, instrumenting the computer software application by inserting one or more instrumentation instructions into one or both of the portions, where the instrumentation instruction is configured to cause execution of the portion being instrumented to be extended by a randomly-determined amount of time, and testing the computer software application in multiple iterations, where the computer software application is executed in multiple parallel execution threads, where the portions are independently executed at least partially in parallel in different threads, and where the computer software application is differently instrumented in each of the iterations.
