Test executive system with tree structure for summarizing results
First Claim
1. An electronic test system comprising:
- a memory for storing a test and test results;
an electronic processor communicating with said memory for controlling the execution of said test and displaying said test results; and
a graphical user interface output device communicating with said electronic processor for displaying information, said information comprising test results organized into a tree structure comprising a hierarchical configuration having multiple levels including a highest level and one or more sub-levels, with the results of each sub-level summarized to the next higher level.

Abstract
An electronic test system with a multi-level tree structure for summarizing the results of the test. The levels of the tree correspond to the hierarchical levels in the execution of a test procedure. The highest level, or first level, represents the result for the whole test procedure. Level two represents the results of various tests. Level three represents the results of various measurements performed in a test, and level four represents the results for various datapoints for a given measurement. Preferably, each level in the tree structure is characterized by a graphical element. The graphical element provides the information on the status of the result at that level. In the tree structure, the results at a higher level are determined by summarizing the results at the adjacent sub-level.
