System and method for automating testing of system under test (SUT)

A method of automating workflow of a test of a system under test (SUT) using a computing device, the method comprising:

• providing an interface between the computing device and a plurality of test instruments configured for testing the SUT to communicate with software applications and/or browsers respectively running on the plurality of test instruments, wherein the interface comprises a plurality of different modes of connection for communicating with the software applications and/or the browsers respectively running on the plurality of test instruments;
• providing an optical character recognition (OCR) application on the computing device;
• providing a robotic process automation (RPA) application on the computing device;
• controlling the plurality of test instruments via at least two of the plurality of different modes of connection of the interface to perform a measurement of the SUT during the test using the RPA application according to a predetermined test procedure;
• receiving and displaying test data from the plurality of test instruments via the interface in response to the measurement, wherein at least a portion of the displayed test data comprises dynamic test data that changes over time;
• capturing a screenshot or a snipping image of the displayed test data and translating the captured test data to readable data using the OCR application, wherein the readable data comprises one or more numerical values representative of the dynamic test data over time;
• repeating the controlling of the plurality of test instruments, the receiving and capturing of the test data, and the translating of the captured test data under control of the RPA application to acquire aggregated test data;
• and
• generating a report populated with at least the aggregated test data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for automating workflow of a test of a system under test (SUT) using a computing device interfacing with a plurality of test instruments via an interface, wherein when executed by at least one processor, the instructions cause the at least one processor to:

• control the plurality of test instruments via a plurality of different modes of connection of the interface to perform measurements of the SUT during the test using a robotic process automation (RPA) application according to a predetermined test procedure, wherein the plurality of different modes of connection communicate with software applications and/or browsers respectively running on the plurality of test instruments;
• receive test data from the plurality of test instruments via the interface in response to the measurements, wherein at least a portion of the test data comprises dynamic test data that changes over time;
• display the dynamic test data;
• capture a screenshot or a snipping image of the displayed test data and translate the captured test data to readable data using an optical character recognition (OCR) application, wherein the readable data comprises one or more numerical values representative of the dynamic test data over time;
• repeat the controlling of the plurality of test instruments, the receiving and capturing of the test data, and the translating of the captured test data under control of the RPA application to acquire aggregated test data;
• and
• generate a report populated with at least the aggregated test data.
