Abstract
A graphics program executable on a graphics card is automatically tested. The graphics program is received at a computing device, and a test graphics program is generated based on the received graphics program. The test graphics program includes one or more additional instructions. The test graphics program is configured to execute the instructions of the received graphics program to generate an execution result, compare the execution result to a test value to generate a test result, and output the test result via the graphics card, where the test result is indicative of the test result. The test graphics program is executed on the graphics card, and the test result is automatically processed to provide, via the computing device, a test run indication corresponding to the test result.
