This test-tool was able to not only simulate all message-traffic to and from First Interstate correspondents, but was also capable of generating an infinite number of error and exception conditions necessary for fully testing all software modifications made to either the IBM Host or Tandem Front-End Processors.
  • Simulator consisted of over 400 programs written in IBM 370 Assembler under TPF. This tool became the primary vehicle for both Unit and System Testing at First Interstate Services Company.
