Today we are sitting with Madan Musuvathi for a quick tutorial on writing
concurrency unit tests, powered by
CHESS in Visual Studio 2008. Madan goes through a simple bank account example that contains a subtle concurrency bug. He shows how to turn a
unit test into a concurrent unit test in a snap, find concurrency issues and debug them using CHESS.
CHESS is an automated concurrency testing tool for .NET and Win32 that finds and reproduces
heisenbugs.
