Systems and methods for parallel testing of multiple namespaces located in a plurality of devices under test

A multiple-name-space testing system comprising:

• a load board configured to couple with a plurality of devices under test (DUTs);
• test electronics configured to test the plurality of DUTs, wherein the test electronics are coupled to the load board;
• a controller configured to direct testing of multiple-name-spaces across the plurality of DUTs at least in part in parallel, wherein directing the testing comprises balancing interrupts from the plurality of DUTs based upon activities of the plurality of DUTs and number of processing cores available for testing operations, wherein the multiple-name-spaces are located in the plurality of DUTs and wherein persistent namespace resources are pre-allocated for activation as part of a power up and deactivation as part of power down respectively for the plurality of DUTs;
• and
• a namespace testing tracker configured to track and manage testing of the plurality of DUTs, including the testing of the multiple-name-spaces across the plurality of DUTs at least in part in parallel, wherein the namespace testing tracker comprises intelligence configured to select namespaces from multiple-name-spaces for testing based on various factors, wherein the various factors comprise characteristics of the namespaces and application of test features of the test electronics, wherein the characteristics of the namespaces correspond to an amount of memory in respective ones of the plurality of DUTs and differences in the characteristics of the namespaces.

A multiple-name-space testing method comprising:

• configuring testing electronics to test a plurality of devices under test (DUTs), wherein the testing electronics are coupled to a load board;
• directing testing of multiple-name-spaces across the plurality of DUTs at least in part in parallel, wherein the multiple-name-spaces are located in the plurality of DUTs;
• and
• tracking testing of the plurality of DUTs, wherein the tracking testing and the directing testing comprises the testing of the multiple-name-spaces across the plurality of DUTs at least in part in parallel and the tracking and directing comprises consideration of namespace characteristics and test equipment features, wherein the namespace characteristics comprise sizes of memory associated with the multiple-name-spaces and the test equipment features comprise hardware acceleration features and normal testing features.
