Abstract
STEPS is a tool for structural testing of parallel software. It incorp orates static and dynamic analysis tools and provides a visual interfa ce to ease the process of finding errors in processes running in paral lel. Input data to this tool are C programs with inter-process communi cation implemented with standard PVM library calls. The version of the tool described in this paper has been tested on Sun Microsystems mach ines running Solaris 2.4 and 2.5 operating systems. STEPS works under X-Windows graphical environment and uses Motif user interface.
