Application domain/field

• Concurrency
• Testing

Type of tool

Testing framework

Expected input

Optional: name of the specific test that should be run. Otherwise it runs all tests.

An HTML report with the test results. This includes how many tests failed (either because a strong assertion was violated, or some other reason), and 'interesting' tests.

Internals

Testing tool to ensure correctness of concurrency support in the JVM. It has a suite of tests that can be used for research in the correctness of concurrency support in the JVM, class libraries, and hardware. It can be used as a library as well. Note that jcstress can require significant time to catch all errors.
