System and method for analysis of cache array test data

A method for analysis of cache array test data, the method comprising:

• retrieving test results for a current period of time for a first plurality of storage elements and for a historical period of time for a second plurality of storage elements;
• determining a plurality of attributes for each of the first storage elements and the second storage elements based upon the test results, the attributes comprising one of a good condition, a defective condition, a repairable condition and a repaired condition;
• determining a plurality of attribute statistics corresponding to the attributes of the first storage elements and the second storage elements;
• and
• generating an output report indicating at least two of the attribute statistics of the first storage elements and the second storage elements.

A computer-readable medium having a program for analysis of cache array test data, the program comprising logic configured to:

• analyze a first cache array test data for a first plurality of storage elements having a common function and residing in at least one first cache array, the first cache array test data corresponding to a current period of time;
• analyze a second cache array test data for a second plurality of storage elements having the common function and residing in at least one second cache array, the second cache array test data corresponding to a historical period of time;
• determine a plurality of attributes for each of the first storage elements based upon the first cache array test data, the attributes comprising one of a good condition, a defective condition, a repairable condition and a repaired condition;
• determine the plurality of attributes for each of the second storage elements based upon the second cache array test data;
• determine a plurality of attribute statistics corresponding to the attributes of the first storage elements and the second storage elements;
• and
• generate an output report indicating at least two of the attributes of the first storage elements and the second storage elements, and indicating the corresponding attribute statistics for each of the attributes.

A system for analysis of cache array test data, comprising:

• means for analyzing a first cache array test data corresponding to test results of a first plurality of storage elements having a common function and residing in at least one first cache array, the first cache array test data corresponding to a current period of time;
• means for analyzing a second cache array test data corresponding to test results of a second plurality of storage elements having the common function and residing in at least one second cache array, the second cache array test data corresponding to a historical period of time;
• means for determining a plurality of attributes for each of the first storage elements based upon the first cache array test data, the attributes comprising one of a good condition, a defective condition, a repairable condition and a repaired condition;
• means for determining the plurality of attributes for each of the second storage elements based upon the second cache array test data;
• means for determining a plurality of attribute statistics corresponding to the attributes of the first storage elements and the second storage elements;
• and
• means for generating an output report indicating the common function of at least two of the attributes of the first storage elements and the second storage elements, and the corresponding attribute statistics for each of the attributes.
