COMPARE POINT DETECTION IN MULTI-THREADED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Compare points are detected in a multi-threaded computing environment. One thread of the multi-threaded computing environment has reached a compare point for the one thread. The compare point for the one thread being a point at which results of executing a test case on the one thread is ready to be compared against expected results for that test case. A determination is made as to whether another thread of the multi-threaded computing environment has reached a compare point for the another thread. Execution of the another thread is continued, based on determining the another thread has not reached the compare point for the another thread. The test case of the one thread is, however, not re-executed.

1. A computer program product for detecting compare points in a multi-threaded computing environment, said computer program product comprising:
a computer readable storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising:
detecting that one thread of the multi-threaded computing environment has reached a compare point for the one thread, the compare point for the one thread being a point at which results of executing a test case on the one thread is ready to be compared against expected results for that test case;determining whether another thread of the multi-threaded computing environment executing another test case has reached a compare point for the another thread; andcontinuing execution of the another thread, based on determining the another thread has not reached the compare point for the another thread, wherein the test case that executed on the one thread is not re-executed.
