Abstract
A method of validating a testing procedure in a computer program is disclosed. A sequence of machine code instructions performed by a processor is recorded as trace data. Further, a mapping file is accessed. In addition, a source line is translated into a plurality of machine code instructions according to a mapping found in the mapping file. Accordingly, at least a portion of the trace data is searched through to determine whether each machine instruction in the plurality of machine instructions has been executed. An indication is displayed of whether any of the machine instructions in the plurality of machine instructions has been executed.
