Stimulus extraction and sequence generation for an electronic device under test

Abstract

A method and system that utilizes a graphical interface that enables a user to select and capture building blocks of a Device Under Test (DUT) test scenario from a previously run test case or from multiple stimulation results. Each of these extracted building block events or “tags” are created from a slice of a graphical stimulation view, which slice is converted into a coded stimulus written in a high-level language code that represents the condition(s) that created the graphical simulation view. These coded stimuli (representing the tags) are stored in a library. To create a corner case scenario or sequence in the DUT, a user utilizes a graphical interface to select the different extracted tags from the library and combines them together.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
