ABSTRACT:
A flexible test environment for automatic test equipment, whereby sequences of steps for developing and executing test programs are specified using hierarchical trees of nodes. The nodes in one tree include end leaves that correspond with the test program development steps, and the nodes in another tree include end leaves that correspond with the test program execution steps. Further, the end leaves in both trees have a plurality of associated properties, which are used for specifying test program flow and for indicating methods to be called when the steps are executed. The test environment can be easily adapted to a distributed tester architecture.
