Abstract
An arbiter facility is provided that operates to control the flow of processes that form a test script. The control of the processes that are performed are based on explicit rules or conditions. The rules implemented by the arbiter facility result in different processes within the test script being performed based on data processed by the arbiter facility. Moreover, the arbiter facility implement rules which explicitly express, within the test case, the value of individual operations. In the exemplary embodiment, the value of one or more individual operations are explicitly expressed by the rules that are imposed on the results returned to the arbiter facility by the various verification points within the test script. Accordingly and advantageously, analysis on the value of a verification point may be performed prior to implementing or executing a test script. This analysis may then be reflected in the rule implemented in the arbiter facility.
