Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce an execution time omitting a detail test for another normal instruction with a large scale by storing the execution result of an instruction combination test, and executing the detail test of the instruction corresponding to an error. CONSTITUTION:An execution administration part M calls an instruction assembling routine, and selects the instruction at random from an instruction table, then assembles an instruction sequence Ti. Afterwards, the administration part M executes the instruction sequence Ti. After a test is completed, a return code that is the execution result of the instruction sequence Ti, is generated, and it is stored at a return code storing area R, and also, a control is returned to the administration part M. The administration part M investigates the content of the area R, and as a result, when the instruction to generate the error is stored, it calls and executes a sub-test for the detail test corresponding to the said instruction, and when it is normal, increases an (i) by one, and repeats the test.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention provides an instruction function test that comprehensively tests a data processing device and a detailed test that tests each instruction of the data processing device in detail. Execution control method for a test program for testing normality [Prior art] Conventionally, the execution control method for this type of test program was a start-small method, in which detailed tests were executed for each instruction in sequence. .

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The conventional test program execution control method described above sequentially executes detailed tests for each instruction in a start-small method, so in a large-scale data processing device, the test program also becomes large. The disadvantage is that the execution time is long.

[Means for solving problems]

The test program execution control method of the present invention is a comprehensive test (
The method includes means for storing the execution result of an instruction combination test), and means for executing a detailed test of the instruction corresponding to the error when the execution result of the means is an error.

Therefore, there is no need to perform a large-scale detailed test of other normal instructions, and the execution time can be shortened.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment of a test program execution control method according to the present invention.

OPi (i=1~n) is an instruction code defined by the computer, Ti is an instruction assembly routine, and the instruction code OP
The instruction sequence assembled by randomly selecting i (i=1 to n), ST(opi) is each instruction code OP
i is the detailed test subtest corresponding to M, and M is the execution manager that controls these routines.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the processing flow of this embodiment.

First, the execution management unit M calls an instruction assembly routine, randomly selects an instruction from the instruction table OP, and assembles an instruction sequence Ti (step 10). After this, the execution management unit M transfers control to step 20, and executes the instruction sequence Ti.
Execute. When the test is completed, a return code that is the execution result of the instruction sequence Ti is generated and stored in the return code storage area R in the main memory (step 30), and control is returned to the execution management section M. The execution management unit M checks the contents (return code) of the return code storage area H (step 40.50), and if the instruction in which the error occurred is stored, the detailed test subtest (ST+opi+) corresponding to the instruction is executed. Call and execute step 60). If normal, increment i by 1 step 70) and repeat the test.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention performs a detailed test of only the instruction with an error detected in a random test, thereby eliminating the need to perform a large-scale detailed test of other normal instructions, thereby reducing maintenance time. It has the effect of
