A method and apparatus for dynamically driving events in a simulation of a data processing system are implemented. Events, or system states, are generated by drivers located at predetermined locations within the simulation model under test.These events, which are drawn from a predetermined class of events, termed "effects," are driven in response to other events observed by monitors disposed within the simulation model in accordance with a predetermined set of "causes," and a set of "rules" that map causes to effects. The driving of events is mediated by a library process that receives observed events from the monitors, in the form of data structures, stored them in a database, and passes the effects to be driven to the appropriate driver in accordance with the set of rules, also data structures stored in the database, when a cause corresponds to a observed event.
