Abstract
A first set of test instructions are provided for a first node in a computer network. A corresponding second set is provided for a second node in the network. The test instruction sets are partitioned into modules. The nodes process their respective sets of test instructions independently to generate test results for each module on each node, except when a synchronizing event occurs. Each node stores its test results for each test module. Since the test modules have an ordered processing sequence, each node's test results for corresponding test modules can be compared asynchronously on an ongoing basis.
