1. A system for semiconductor test management, the system comprising:
- a first computer generating a new gating rule and transmitting the new gating rule; and
a second computer initially storing an old gating rule, receiving the new gating rule via a network, replacing the old gating rule with the new gating rule, acquiring a test result, carrying the test result into the new gating rule to generate an advisory report;
wherein the test result comprises a test value corresponding to a test attribute, the new gating rule determines a final advisory when the test value satisfies a specific condition comprising the test attribute, the advisory report comprises the final advisory, the new gating rule is a newer version of the old gating rule, and the final advisory indicates a wafer, or a wafer lot is accepted, scrapped, repairable, or held for analysis.

Abstract
A system and method thereof for semiconductor test management. A first computer generates a new gating rule and transmits the new gating rule. A second computer receives the new gating rule via a network, acquires a test result, carries the test result into the new gating rule to generate an advisory report. In which, the test result comprises a test value corresponding to a test attribute, the new gating rule determines a final advisory when the test value satisfies a specific condition comprising the test attribute, and the advisory report comprises the final advisory.
