ABSTRACT:
A system (1) has a server (2) linked with PC clients (5), in turn connected to test equipment (10). A design-of-experiment (DOE) engine (20) generates a series of run objects (21), each defining a variation of an equipment run. The inputs to the DOE engine (20) are a selected procedure object (25) and experiment variations. The engine (20) automatically determines all task objects (26), resource objects (27), and parameter configuration objects (28) linked with the selected procedure object (25). The variations may be variations in the hierarchical links and/or different values for the parameter configurations (28). There is a run object (21) associated with each variation permutation.
