A new methodology for test program set generation and re-housing

摘要

A methodology for significantly improving the consistency, reliability, and transportability of test program sets (TPSs) is presented. This methodology utilizes the proposed IEEE tester-independent data standards and resource-independent standardized test methods to automate the TPS development process. Automating this process greatly reduces the costs associated with TPS development and provides a highly cost-effective method for re-hosting existing TPSs to new tester environments.
