Summary/Abstract: Most applications today are designed to be networked. It is natural that such applications operate on some data. Such applications are multi threaded by nature and it is a common situation when few clients are using the same application at the same time. So it is possible that those users operate with the same data. It is possible that in such an operation some data might be treated incorrectly or some client instance may operate on outdated data. In order to avoid such situations proper consistent testing should be performed. Therefore it is complicated to perform such testing manually. Automated tool which would help to solve this problem is wanted. In this paper we are presenting an automated testing method that is able to detect problems related to resource racing conditions in a distributed system.
