ABSTRACT:
A method for communicating test information from a source to a destination is disclosed. The method includes providing a modular test system, where the modular test system comprises a system controller for controlling at least one site controller, the at least one site controller for controlling at least one test module. The method further includes providing a datalog framework for supporting extension of user-defined datalog formats, providing support classes for supporting user-initiated datalog events, receiving a datalog event requesting for communicating input test information from the source to the destination, configuring output test information based upon the destination, the datalog framework and the support classes, and transferring the output test information to the destination.
