Abstract
Multi-threaded programming creates the fundamental problem that the execution of a program is no longer deterministic, because the thread schedule is not controlled by the application. This causes traditional testing methods to be rather ineffective. Trilogy, producing many multi-threaded server programs, also has to deal with the limitations of regression testing. New approaches to this problem -- static and extended dynamic checking -- promise to ameliorate the situation. Many tools are in development that try to find faults in multithreaded programs in new ways.
