Abstract
A test executive system that allows running of selected tests. A graphical user interface allows the user to run all tests, run marginal and failed tests, or to run only selected tests. When the “run selected tests” option is selected, check boxes appear on a procedure tree. Selected Procedures, Tests, Measurements and Datapoints may then be selected by checking on a box and deselected by checking the box a second time. A check appears in selected boxes. The brightness of a checked box indicates how many lower level items are checked. The selected Procedures, Tests, Measurements and Datapoints can be saved and recalled.
Claims24
A product that provides a test executive system for controlling tests upon a device under test that is distinct and separate from said test executive system, said product comprising:
- instructions for directing a processing unit to:
- display a plurality of run selection choices, each said run selection choice corresponding to a different set of tests;
- said plurality of run selection choices comprising at least two of the choices selected from the group consisting of “run all tests”, “run marginal tests”, “run failed tests”;
- “run erroneous tests”, “run selected tests”, and combinations thereof;
- receive an input identifying one of said run selection choices;
- execute tests of said device under test indicated by said run selection choice;
- display results of said executed tests;
- and
- a media readable by said processing unit that stores said instructions.
The product of claim 11 wherein said instructions to receive remove input further comprises instructions for directing said processing unit to update a display to indicate said test is removed from said list.
A method of operating a test executive system for controlling tests upon a device under test that is distinct and separate from said test executive system, said method comprising:
- displaying a plurality of run selection choices, each said run selection choice corresponding to a different set of tests, said plurality of run selection choices comprising at least two of the choices selected from the group consisting of “run all tests”, “run marginal tests”, “run failed tests”;
- “run erroneous tests”, “run selected tests”, and combinations thereof;
- receiving an input identifying one of said run selection choices;
- executing tests on said device under test indicated by said run selection choice;
- and
- displaying results of said executed tests.
A test executive system for controlling tests upon a device under test that is distinct and separate from said test executive system comprising:
- a display for showing a plurality of run selection choices, each said run selection choice corresponding to a different set of tests, said plurality of run selection choices comprising at least two of the choices selected from the group consisting of “run all tests”, “run marginal tests”, “run failed tests”;
- “run erroneous tests”, “run selected tests”, and combinations thereof;
- a memory storing information capable of selecting tests corresponding to each of said run selection choices;
- and
- a processor for receiving an input identifying one of said run selection choices and communicating with said memory for executing tests on said device under test indicated by said run selection choice.
