Improving productivity in large scale testing at the compiler level by changing the intermediate language from C++ to Java

Abstract

This paper is based on research results achieved by a collaboration between Ericsson Hungary Ltd. and the Large Scale Testing Research Lab of Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. We present design issues and empirical observations on extending an existing industrial toolset with a new intermediate language1.
