Abstract
A method for identifying errors in program functions in a program interface found in a header file for the program interface and for identifying errors in program functions in a program interface found in an internal header file and a related public declaration header file for the program interface is provided. In the preferred embodiment, a header file is parsed, and parsing errors are recorded. A test application designed to call each program function in a dynamic link library is generated using information obtained through parsing. The test application is compiled, and compilation errors are recorded. The test application is executed, and errors identified through execution are recorded.
