ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a product that provides a test executive program for controlling tests on a device under test that is separate and distinct from the test executive system. The product may be embodied in a media storing instructions that direct a processing unit to 1) perform an electronic test on the device under test, 2) provide an interface for communicating with an external system that is distinct from the test executive program, and for permitting the test system to be operated by the external system, 3) communicate with the external system, and 4) in response to signals generated by the external system, operate the test system. Other test executive methods and apparatus are also disclosed.
