Testing complex computer programs for technological processing - using projection of interrupt commands into sub-programs for safe interruption only in diagnostic mode

摘要

The method tests complex computer programs for technological processes with several subprograms running in parallel in real time by interruption of the subprograms for monitoring purposes. Interrupt commands are projected into the subprograms which do not cause interrupts during normal operation of the complex program. In diagnosis mode the interrupt commands activate the next interrupt command of one or more subprograms of a diagnosis programme which suspends the processing of each subprogram at locations not harmful to the technological process. USE/ADVANTAGE - For stepwise, simple running of complex programs without allowing unforeseen dangers to occur during interrupts.
