Automatic quality evaluation for a sequence of movement commands

A computer program comprising machine code stored on a machine-readable non-transitory medium, wherein the machine code, when loaded into a memory of an arithmetic device and executed by the arithmetic device, causes the arithmetic device to

• evaluate a sequence of movement commands which each define a position and an orientation to be adopted by a tool of a processing machine relative to a workpiece,
• execute the sequence of movement commands with a control device of the processing machine, and at least intermittently machine the workpiece with the tool,
• during execution of the movement commands, convert the movement commands into a trajectory which includes the defined positions and the defined orientation,
• determine distances between the defined positions of directly consecutive movement commands and a change in the defined orientation,
• highlight the defined positions of the directly consecutive movement commands having a distance less than a predetermined minimum distance and a change in the defined orientation greater than a first maximum change distance with a marker, and
• output to a user a depiction of the trajectory with the marker.
