Power cycle test method for testing an electronic equipment

A power cycle test method for testing an electronic equipment, the method comprising:

• providing a hardware configuration consisting of a host computer, a single chip processor, a relay, and a power supply;
• predefining a total test count, and resetting a current test count;
• updating the current test count by incrementing the current test count by a value;
• checking whether the electronic equipment passes an alternating current (AC) test under a first AC control signal, the first AC control signal being transmitted to the single chip processor;
• powering off the electronic equipment under a first direct current (DC) control signal if the electronic equipment passes the AC test, the first DC control signal being transmitted to the single chip processor;
• checking whether the electronic equipment passes a DC test under a second DC control signal, the second DC control signal being transmitted to the single chip processor;
• checking whether the electronic equipment passes a reboot test under a reboot control signal if the electronic equipment passes the DC test, the reboot control signal being transmitted to the single chip processor;
• powering off the electronic equipment under a second AC control signal if the electronic equipment passes the reboot test, the second AC control signal being transmitted to the single chip processor;
• determining whether the current test count is equal to the total test count;
• and
• displaying a result message if the current test count is equal to the total test count.
