Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method of detecting compare points in a multi-threaded computing environment, said computer-implemented method comprising: detecting that one thread of the multi-threaded computing environment has reached a compare point for the one thread, the compare point for the one thread being a point at which results of executing a test case on the one thread are ready to be compared against expected results for that test case; determining whether another thread of the multi-threaded computing environment executing another test case has reached a compare point for the another thread; forcing an exit of execution of the another test case, based on the one thread reaching the compare point for the one thread, wherein based on the forced exit, the another thread has not reached the compare point for the another thread; and continuing execution of the another thread, based on determining the another thread has not reached the compare point for the another thread, wherein the test case that executed on the one thread is not re-executed.
