The TPF test facilities are designed to provide:
- A check on violations (or possible violations) of programming conventions
- An orderly progression from simple debugging through complex multiprogram
tests, including the entry of messages from terminals
- A uniform data definition and database for use in all levels of testing
- The ability to batch various test runs
- A flexible method to specify and modify data for each test case
- A method of simulating unavailable programs
- Flexibility in specifying the types of output desired
- Online components to assist in the detection of faulty programs
- Offline components to print the results of a test
- Debugging aids (traces, formatted dumps, processing snapshots).
