Sometimes it's necessary to test a Java class for its so called "thread-safety" — its readiness to accept concurrent requests from multiple threads and behave consistently. Not all classes are thread-safe. For example, LinkedList and HashMap are not. How do you know that your classes are thread-safe? I released together, a new tiny open source library that helps you make sure they are, by putting your Java object under stress — sending similar requests to it from different concurrent threads.

BTW, thanks to this new testing instrument, a bug was discovered in tojos, a pretty stable library that we've been using for a few years, inside the EO compiler.
