Using environmental signatures for test scheduling

摘要

Method and system are provided for using environmental signatures for test scheduling. The method includes: generating an environmental signature for a test including the usage of power and temperature of one or more hardware components being tested; determining an outcome score of the test; and scheduling one or more tests on hardware components based on the environmental signature and outcome score of candidate tests. Generating an environmental signature for a test may include: monitoring the usage of power by hardware components during the course of the test; monitoring the temperature of hardware components during the course of the test; generating a signature representing the power usage and temperature during the test. Determining an outcome score of the test may include determining the number of defects exposed by a test and basing the outcome score on the number of defects exposed.
