Synopsis

Master ASSET: a practical guide to testing and instrumenting programs. This manual explains how Asset Instrumentation works and how to use its commands to analyze and test software efficiently.


The content covers how to prepare a subject program, run instrumentation, and interpret results. It describes setup steps, command usage, data-flow criteria, and how to handle separately compiled programs. The book presents real-world examples and scenarios to help you apply Asset to your own projects without guessing at the workflow.



  • How to prepare a subject procedure and choose the test criteria (such as all-defs or all-uses).

  • How to instrument code, generate def-use data, and review the resulting files.

  • How to compile, run, and iterate with test data to verify coverage.

  • Tips for handling separate compilation and managing related files in a workspace.


Ideal for readers who want a structured approach to data-flow testing and instrumented analysis using Asset.
