ABSTRACT:
Software fault diagnosis is performed for a faulty base software application that is integrated with external routines by generating substitute routines using the same arguments and parameters of the external routines. The substitute routines are linked into the base software in place of the external routines. If base software application with the substitute routines runs without error, then the external software is suspected for the source of the fault. On the other hand, if the base software with the substitute routines still crashes, then the base software is suspected. The probable source of porting errors can be determined by running the base software with the substitute routines on two or more incompatible platforms and determining which platforms exhibit the fault.
