Abstract
A test monitor for a multiprocessor machine including a plurality of processors each configured to execute a test by interpreting a script language for writing tests, in which one of the processors executes a kernel part comprising instructions for conducting and monitoring the executed tests according to the scripts, and an application program interface provided using a library of functions for interfacing with firmware of the multiprocessor machine. The test monitor includes a method for executing instruction sequences simultaneously in several processors of a multiprocessor machine.
