    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Built-in_self-test

    One of the first computer-controlled BIST systems was in the U.S.'s Minuteman Missile. [citation needed] Using an internal computer to control the testing reduced the weight of cables and connectors for testing. The Minuteman was one of the first major weapons systems to field a permanently installed computer-controlled self-test.

    Binary Synchronous Communication (BSC or Bisync) is an IBM character-oriented, half-duplex link protocol, announced in 1967 after the introduction of System/360.It replaced the synchronous transmit-receive (STR) protocol used with second generation computers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_testing_(software)

    [1] [2] When used to determine if a computer program should be subjected to further, more fine-grained testing, a smoke test may be called a pretest [5] or an intake test. [1] Alternatively, it is a set of tests run on each new build of a product to verify that the build is testable before the build is released into the hands of the test team ...

    This shows the typical layout of a simple computer's program memory with the text, various data, and stack and heap sections. Historically, BSS (from Block Started by Symbol) is a pseudo-operation in UA-SAP (United Aircraft Symbolic Assembly Program), the assembler developed in the mid-1950s for the IBM 704 by Roy Nutt, Walter Ramshaw, and others at United Aircraft Corporation.

    A kernel is a component of a computer operating system. [1] A comparison of system kernels can provide insight into the design and architectural choices made by the developers of particular operating systems.

    A modern PC with a bus rate of around 1 GHz and a 32-bit bus might be 2000x or even 5000x faster, but might have many more gigabytes of memory. With boot times more of a concern now than in the 1980s, the 30- to 60-second memory test adds undesirable delay for a benefit of confidence that is not perceived to be worth that cost by most users.

    There are differences between the specifications for the 1.5 Mbit/s rate. High-speed links utilize the entire bandwidth of a T1 (1.536 Mbit/s) or E1 (1.984 Mbit/s) transmission facility for the transport of SS7 signaling messages. [13] SIGTRAN provides signaling using SCTP associations over the Internet Protocol.
