This paper describes a microcode-evaluation methodology. The supporting test tools were developed by the IBM General Products Division in Tucson, Arizona, to allow effective and comprehensive evaluations of microcode systems. The methodology has been used successfully by the Tucson Test Laboratory (TTL) during the past several years.The evaluation methodology is characterized by an integrated application of static and dynamic analysis techniques. These two modes of analysis are complementary and they allow a level of automation that can significantly enhance the productivity of a testing organization through the systematic application of automated testing techniques. The methodology also establishes a discipline for the microcode-testing process that promotes a formal program of defect removal. Of course, improving the process of removing defects produces a corresponding enhancement in product quality.
