Abstract:
A method, apparatus and a product for utilizing translation tables for testing processors. The method is used for testing a target processor that utilizes different translation tables to translate virtual addresses to physical addresses. The method comprises obtaining a test template that comprises directives to be executed in different contexts, during each of which a different translation table is utilized to translate virtual addresses to physical addresses. The translation tables to be used by the target processor in the different contexts are determined, so that the translation tables overlap, at least in part.
