Abstract
A test-vector generating system (200) controls a processor (110) having a paradigm floating point functional unit (160) which executes a paradigm floating point instruction set. The system includes computer program modules including an interactive test selection process (202) in which a test instruction is selected from the paradigm instruction set, an operand data generation process (222), a test instruction execution process (226) in which the paradigm functional unit executes the test instruction operating upon the generated operand data and a test vector result recording process (208) in which a test vector result of the test instruction execution is recorded.
