Abstract
The complexity of simulation software makes it one of the most challenging software products to test and debug. Providing reliable simulation software requires that the user interface, graphic editor, statistical generators, database and memory management systems, simulation engine, output report generator, graphical animation, etc. are all working correctly. The paper provides an inside look into the challenges and issues associated with insuring the reliability of simulation software. Special emphasis is given to automated testing methods.
