Abstract:
Compare points are detected in a multi-threaded computing environment. One thread of the multi-threaded computing environment has reached a compare point for the one thread. The compare point for the one thread being a point at which results of executing a test case on the one thread is ready to be compared against expected results for that test case. A determination is made as to whether another thread of the multi-threaded computing environment has reached a compare point for the another thread. Execution of the another thread is continued, based on determining the another thread has not reached the compare point for the another thread. The test case of the one thread is, however, not re-executed.
