Abstract
A method for testing a computer program. The method includes executing the computer program until a subprogram is called, ascertaining a memory location of the call stack in which the return address or the stack base pointer of the called subprogram is stored, setting a watchpoint on the ascertained memory location, setting breakpoints on return instructions of the called subprogram, continuing the execution of the computer program and indicating that the computer program has an error if the set watchpoint has been triggered before one of the set breakpoints due to a write to the memory location.
