[For the entire collection see Zbl 0753.00017.] The CESTAG method for estimating the accuracy of the results provided by a computer is considered. It is known that any result provided by a computer contains an error resulting from the round-off error propagation. The author maintains that the CESTAG method is an efficient tool for estimating the accuracy. The basic idea is to replace the usual floating point arithmetic with a random arithmetic. The random arithmetic is obtained in randomly perturbating the lowest weight bit of the mantissa of the result of each arithmetic operation.
