Abstract:


Recent advances in microprocessor technologies have increased the need for concurrent multi-threaded programming. These advances imposed an immediate mandate in the researcher to develop methodologies and tools to support the development process especially in testing and debugging of concurrent multithreaded programs. In this paper, we are surveying the available tools and techniques for testing and debugging concurrent and multi-threaded applications as well as highlighting the different ways of implementing these techniques. At the time of writing and as fare as our search had reached we didn’t find published surveys that cover these tools techniques since 2006 in [1], [2].
