Parallel testing of distributed software

The paper presents the experience of the use of parallel computing technologies to accelerate the testing of a complex distributed programming system such as Orbix 3, which is IONA's implementation of the CORBA 2.1 standard. The design and implementation of the parallel testing system are described in detail. Experimental results proving the high efficiency of the system are given.
