Corner-case tests

Corner-case tests are one of the example tools used to build, run, and debug the Transmeta Crusoe microprocessor. They are listed alongside reference x86 simulators, a fast simulator and fault-isolating debugger (used to run the Code Morphing Software both during hardware development and after hardware was on sale to the public), a highly automated test farm, and test generators.
