  * '''gettopdetail.pl'''
       * PURPOSE: parse a ''topfile'' into something human-readable. Assign+ also uses this output. 
-      * INPUT: ''ttopfile''
-      * OUTPUT: human-readable summary of ''ttopfile''
+      * INPUT: ''topfile''
+      * OUTPUT: human-readable summary of ''topfile''

-Code resides in assign+ branch of the repository, in assign+ folder. 
+Testing code resides in assign+ branch of the repository, in assign+/test folder. There are several files that jointly perform tests that compare performance of ''assign'' and ''assign+''. 
+* '''removefixed.pl'''
+      * PURPOSE: Remove fixed nodes from a ''topfile''
+      * INPUT: ''topfile''
+      * OUTPUT: ''topfile'' in correct format minus lines that talk about fixed nodes
+* '''makefixed.pl'''
+      * PURPOSE: Make a ''topfile'' with fixed nodes taken from the output of ''assign'' or ''assign+''
+      * INPUT: output-file-of-assign-or-assign+ ''topfile''
+      * OUTPUT: ''topfile'' in correct format plus lines that enforce fixed nodes and fixed interfaces for links
+* '''parseinfo.pl'''
+      * PURPOSE: measure performance of ''assign'' or ''assign+''
+      * INPUT: a file containing output of ''assign'' or ''assign+''
+      * OUTPUT: success or failure of allocation, time the allocation took, number of nodes and interswitch links allocated
+* '''runtests.pl'''
+      * PURPOSE: run a number of tests with ''assign'' and ''assign+''
+      * INPUT: a file containing lines with ''ptopfile'' and ''topfile''
+      * OUTPUT: file ''testresults'' that contains performance of these two allocation algorithms for each line of input
+* '''processresults.pl'''
+      * PURPOSE: process the results file generated in the previous step
+      * INPUT: name of the results file
+      * OUTPUT: statistics about successes and failures of ''assign'' and ''assign+''. The code also produces files that contain inputs that lead to following potentially anomalous cases:
+          * ''checktests'' - ''assign+'' failed and ''assign'' didn't
+          * ''failedtests'' - both ''assign+'' and ''assign'' failed
+          * ''weirdtests'' - ''assign+'' succeeded and ''assign'' didn't
+          * ''impossibletests'' - ''assign+'' succeeded and ''assign'' didn't with fixed nodes from output of ''assign+''. This most often happens because ''assign+'' cannot deal properly with fixed interfaces on links.
