MUSE: a tool for testing and debugging a multi-terminal programming system

Abstract

Current literature on multi-terminal time sharing systems has a great deal to say about the macroscopic relationship of their parts and the statistics of their performance. However, very little is written about the efforts expended in putting them together or making them work efficiently and reliably, in the hands of the users. Traditionally checkout and testing of multi-terminal systems have assumed a method of an on-site marathon. Testing of the product outside the customer's shop has been virtually non-existent.
