A PRAGMATIC FIRST LOOK AT DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAMMING FOR DIGITAL COMPUTERS

Abstract

A brief survey of diagnostic programming for digital computers. The purposes and organization of the program are covered as well as many of the problems attendant to their preparation. Various techniques that have been used to overcome these are discussed with emphasis on those that are practical (at least from the point of view of effort required) and those that have seen wide use. The primary purpose of this paper is to fully define the nature of the problem and the special considerations involved. Most of the discussion is fully applicable to both commercial and military equipment.
