Abstract :
In the past operational testing has either been too expensive or to complex to offer return on investment sufficient to justify developing a general purpose automatic test system (ATS). A small change in the way one traditionally thinks about tester/TPS development opens the door to increased return on investment in ATS equipment and ATS programs.
