Synopsis

Tools to verify FORTRAN compilers against the standard

This edition presents NBS FORTRAN Test Programs designed to test how well a FORTRAN compiler accepts the language as defined in the American National Standard. It includes two versions of test units, organized to support flexible use as standalone programs or linked sequences, with a focus on open-ended extensibility and ease of use.

The material covers 116 test units that can run as separate RTRAN programs or be connected end-to-end. Version 1 uses 116 executable FORTRAN programs, while Version 3, with the same units, is arranged as 14 executables for large systems. The tests aim to stay within the FORTRAN Standard and address areas not strictly prescribed by the standard, helping testers focus on practical language elements before they support other tests.

• Ready-to-run test units that validate compiler behavior against the standard
• Guidance on structuring tests to minimize environmental dependencies
• Flexible use cases, from individual tests to end-to-end testing
• Notes on required hardware and setup for running the tests

Ideal for readers involved in compiler validation, software testing, or standards conformance work in FORTRAN environments.
