Abstract
A method of detecting a cause of a failure in a computer includes the steps of performing real-device testing by having a computer execute all instructions of a test program, performing simulator testing by having the computer execute part of the instructions of the test program and having a simulator execute the remainder of the instructions of the test program, and comparing results of the real-device testing with results of the simulator testing so as to identify a portion of the test program that causes a failure.
