An Approach to the Non-interference Software Testing and Debugging

软件测试和调试工具的开发进度落后于其他软件技术的进展，但是程序测试和调试仍然是软件生产过程中的瓶颈，并且它们继续主导软件生产日历和分类账。本研究致力于研究、设计和实现一种新的软件测试和调试方法。主要目标是开发一个“无干扰”的软件测试和调试系统，以确保对目标系统的执行进行最小的干预，同时，为软件从业者提供对程序执行的最大控制。无干扰测试系统解决了实时系统中特定时间约束的关键问题，这比传统计算机应用中的软件测试要困难得多。虽然提出的系统是面向实时系统测试的，但它具有广泛的应用潜力，特别是在运行模式下的系统现场支持测试。论证和建议这项研究可以提高对软件测试过程的理解。如果成功，它将具有真正的意义。

Progress in the development of software testing and debugging tools has lagged behind advances in other software technologies, yet program testing and debugging remain a bottleneck in the software production process, and they continue to dominate the software production calendar and ledger. This research is devoted to the study, design, and implementation of a new approach in software testing and debugging. The principal objective is to develop a "non-interference" software testing and debugging system to ensure minimum intervention with the execution of the target system, at the same time, providing the software practitioner with maximum control over program execution. The non- interference testing system addresses the critical problem of specific timing constraints in real-time systems which presents far more difficulties than software testing on conventional computer applications. Although the proposed system is oriented toward real-time system testing, it is potentially applicable to a wide range of applications, especially for on-site support testing of systems in operation mode. Justification and Recommendation This research could lead to an improved understanding of the software testing process. If successful it could be of real significance.
