Embodiment Construction

[0020] Previously, the creation of test flow procedures for use with test machines was cumbersome, making adjustments to the test flow procedures difficult and time consuming. This limits the ability of the user of the testing machine to modify the tests performed by the machine without the assistance of an experienced test developer. Embodiments of the present disclosure address and solve these problems (at least in part) by providing a system for creating test flows for hardware or simulation testing that includes a graphical user interface (GUI) and a A processor configured to cause the GUI to graphically display test behavior, and to couple the test behavior on the GUI to the The displayed test flow is coupled.

[0021] figure 1 A testing machine system 8 comprising a test procedure generator 9 for generating test procedures used to control the testing machine 12 is illustrated. Testing machine 12 includes a plant or physical system 10 . In the exemplary embodiment, ph...

Abstract

A test machine system (8) and a method for operating a test machine system (8) includes using a readily available workflow program to a test procedure created using a graphical user interface (47) to arrange test procedure elements.

Description

Background technique [0001] The following disclosure is provided for general background information only and is not intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter. [0002] There are many types of machines that perform tests (eg, tests on materials or devices). Such testing machines can be configured to perform relatively complex testing procedures involving many processing steps. Processing flows can be complex, with conditional branches, parallel procedures, loopbacks, and many more different configurations of processing flows. [0003] In current testing paradigms, sequential, event-driven or data-flow-driven approaches are mainly used to create tests (either in real hardware or during simulation). Sequential approaches can be limiting, while event-driven and dataflow-driven approaches can become overly complex. [0004] Furthermore, changing the order of tests is restricted in sequential approaches, while changing the order of tests...
