“Testing an application prepared to run concurrent code can become a nightmare for old-fashioned testing platforms. Multicore testing requires new techniques, new expertise and new hardware. For example, you cannot guarantee a parallelized application’s accuracy testing it on computers with single core microprocessors.
One of the most frustrating experiences with multicore programming could be a parallelized application generating unexpected random problems. However, if this application had successfully passed the testing process, it would be even a more annoying situation. Why could this happen? Because testing techniques also have to go parallel. ”
