This document describes the need for, and design of, diagnostic software that provides circuit verification, fault isolation, and troubleshooting aids. The difference between verification software and true diagnostic software is explained. A modular design of diagnostic software is proposed, consisting of a series of 3-part tests, a test manager, results...
This report describes "VIGRAM" (Visual Programming) which is a program understanding and complexity metric analysis tool for Pascal programs. VIGRAM is implemented on the Macintosh as one part of the "O.S.U." (Qregon Speedcode Universe) project. With VIGRAM, the source code of a Pascal procedure can be displayed as a visual...
Acoustic position estimation is used where high accuracy navigation is required over a small area, such as for searching or for collecting gravitational or geomagnetic data. In this position estimation method, a surface ship or submersible periodically sends out a high-frequency acoustic 'ping' at a prearranged frequency. This ping is...
Many studies have shown that expert programmers are more effective at debugging programs than novice programmers. These studies have suggested that the major reason for this difference is due to the experts' superior comprehension of the program. This paper reports two experiments which investigated expert and novice student programmers program...
This tutorial discusses one of the oldest problems in computing: how to search and retrieve keyed information from a list in the least amount of time. Hashing - a technique that mathematically converts a key into a storage address - is one of the best methods of finding and retrieving...
