Automated device test triaging system and techniques

A host computing device, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the host computing device to carry out functions comprising:
• providing a host computing device executing test infrastructure system software for testing a plurality of devices under test (DUTs) using a test suite having a plurality of tests to be executed by the plurality of DUTs, the plurality of DUTs comprising a first DUT and a second DUT, wherein the first DUT and the second DUT share a common design, wherein the plurality of DUTs further comprise a third DUT, and wherein the plurality of tests comprise a first test and a second test;
• determining to execute the first test before the second test on at least the first DUT using the host computing device;
• receiving, at the host computing device, first test results for a failing first test executed by the first DUT;
• determining, based on the first test results and based on the first DUT sharing the common design with the second DUT, to execute the second test before the first test on the second DUT;
• the host computing device subsequently instructing the second DUT to execute the second test before executing the first test;
• obtaining second test results for the execution of the second test on the second DUT at the test infrastructure system;
• determining whether the second DUT failed the second test based on the second test results at the test infrastructure system;
• and
• after determining that the second DUT failed the second test, generating an output of the test infrastructure system that is based on execution of the second test, the output comprising an indication that the second test is waived for at least the third DUT.

An article of manufacture comprising one or more non-transitory computer readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of a host computing device, cause the host computing device to carry out functions comprising:

• providing a host computing device executing test infrastructure system software for testing a plurality of devices under test (DUTs) using a test suite having a plurality of tests to be executed by the plurality of DUTs, the plurality of DUTs comprising a first DUT and a second DUT, wherein the first DUT and the second DUT share a common design, wherein a system image of software to be executed is associated with a first software version, and wherein the plurality of tests comprise a first test and a second test;
• determining to execute the first test before the second test on at least the first DUT using the host computing device;
• receiving, at the host computing device, first test results for a failing first test executed by the first DUT;
• determining, based on the first test results and based on the first DUT sharing the common design with the second DUT, to execute the second test before the first test on the second DUT;
• the host computing device subsequently instructing the second DUT to execute the second test before executing the first test;
• obtaining related version test results from other executions of the first test on one or more DUTs that executed a software version that equals or exceeds the first software version;
• analyzing the related version test results to determine whether the first test was successful on the one or more DUTs;
• and
• after determining that the first test was successful on the one or more DUTs, determining not to execute the first test on the second DUT.
