ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the present invention provides an improved method and system for synchronizing the execution of two or more events used to test a software product. The improved method begins by invoking a driver to assist in the generation of a first event. The driver program sends over a first message which instructs the client to initiate generation of the first event. After the first event has been generated, the client stores the first event in a first buffer. Next, the client processes the first event. In the course of processing the first event, other events may have been generated and stored in the first buffer. Therefore, the client examines the first buffer to determine if events spawned while processing the first event await processing. If new events are stored in the first buffer, then the client processes the new events. This process continues until the examination determines that the first buffer does not store events. After all events have completed processing, the client sends an acknowledgment to the driver. The acknowledgment indicates that the driver may send over a second message for processing by the client.
