1. A test system for simultaneously testing a plurality of devices, comprising:
- a universal tester having a plurality of sets of testing probes, each set of testing probes of the plurality of sets of testing probes configured to communicate with corresponding ports of a respective device under test (DUT) of a plurality of devices under test (DUTs) when the DUT is connected to the universal tester for testing;
an operator dashboard for simultaneously displaying an information window associated with each DUT of the plurality of DUTs; and
a plurality of web sockets, each web socket of the plurality of web sockets associated with a DUT of the plurality of DUTs and configured to enable real-time bi-directional and asynchronous communication between the corresponding information window on the operator dashboard and the universal tester for simultaneously testing the plurality of DUTs and displaying the information associated with each DUT of the plurality of DUTs.
