Abstract :
Managing automatic test systems in the 1990s is more than writing BASIC test programs to control IEEE 488 instruments. Managing your automatic test system involves test program set (TPS) development, management of re-usable test objects, data management, tester resource management and user interface management. In addition the automatic test system must provide test executive that controls the overall test development and execution environments. The benefits of this type of system are, lower TPS development cost, a common user interface and lower operator training cost. This paper focuses on these aspects of automatic test system management
