ISBN: 0-7695-0780-8
The paper addresses the problem of developing test programs for IEEE754 and Intel x87 compliant floating-point units (FPUs). A balanced mixture of pseudorandom, fault and application oriented instruction sequences assures exhaustive testing. Special tools have been used to manage test monitoring and optimize fault coverage. Their usefulness was illustrated with experimental results. Some data related to the cost (in time and RAM space) of developed tests are presented.
