The author cites instances where multitasking is and is not appropriate and suggests some guidelines for implementing multithreaded Ada test programs developed in conformance with ABET/ATLAS.Abstract:
The author discusses the application of tasking in Ada test programs to satisfy multithreaded dynamic functional testing requirements Ada's inherent multitasking capability, which can express both control and data dependencies among simultaneous actions, is one of the reasons why the IEEE ATLAS Committee (SCC 20) is presently engaged in developing a new Ada-based test program specification standard, designated informally as ABET/ATLAS Experience using ATLAS tasking can be applied in the development of the ABET standards and in the implementation of Ada test programs The author cites instances where multitasking is and is not appropriate and suggests some guidelines for implementing multithreaded Ada test programs developed in conformance with ABET/ATLAS >read more

TL;DR: This paper discusses the creation of threads, thread scheduling, and the use of thread synchronization constructs, and compares these mechanisms to those available in IEEE Standard ATLAS and test-specific programming frameworks.
