Using syzygies computed via Gröbner bases techniques, we present algorithms for testing some homological properties for submodules of the free module $A^{m}$, where A = R[x₁,...,xₙ] and R is a Noetherian commutative ring. We will test if a given submodule M of $A^{m}$ is flat. We will also check if M is locally free of constant dimension. Moreover, we present an algorithm that computes the rank of a flat submodule M of $A^{m}$ and also an algorithm that computes the projective dimension of an arbitrary submodule of $A^{m}$. All algorithms are illustrated with examples.
