System and method for testing hardware devices

A computer-based method for testing hardware devices, the method utilizing a multi-level system architecture, and comprising the steps of:

• providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) level, a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) level, and a device driving level;
• selecting test items and test units for a test project, and storing the test project in a test script file;
• configuring test parameters, and generating a test parameter configuration file;
• loading the test script file and the test parameter configuration file;
• loading a DLL file corresponding to one of the test items in the test script file;
• loading a device driving interface corresponding to the DLL file;
• testing a hardware device corresponding to the test item based on the test configuration file, and recording the test results;
• transmitting the test results to the DLL level;
• closing the device driving interface;
• and
• determining whether any test items have not been tested, and displaying the test results if all test items have been tested.

A method for testing hardware devices, comprising the steps of:

• providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to allow user selecting test items corresponding to said hardware devices via said GUI;
• grouping said selected test items into an executable test project to perform testing selected ones of said hardware devices based on said test project;
• retrieving standard test parameters for each of said selected test items;
• retrieving information from said selected ones of said hardware devices corresponding to said test items of said test project;
• acquiring test results according to comparison of said information and said standard test parameters;
• and
• showing said test results via said GUI together with and corresponding to said selected test items in said test project.
