摘要:
A system and method for generating a test case and a bit mask that allows a test case executor the ability to re-execute the test case multiple times using different machine state register bit sets. A test case generator creates a bit mask based upon identified invariant bits and semi-invariant bits. The test case generator includes compensation values corresponding to the semi-invariant bits into a test case, and provides the test case, along with the bit mask, to a test case executor. In turn, the test case executor dispatches the test case multiple times, each time with a different machine state register bit set, to a processor. Each of the machine state register bit sets places the processor in different modes.
