1. A segmented subsystem, for use within an automated test platform, comprising:

  • a first subsystem segment configured to execute one or more instructions within the first subsystem segment; and

    a second subsystem segment configured to execute one or more instructions within the second subsystem segment;

    wherein the first subsystem segment includes;

    a first functionality,a second functionality, wherein the first and second functionality are software functionality, anda status polling engine,wherein the status polling engine is configured to;

    determine a first status for the first functionality read from a first status register within the first subsystem segment and a second status for the second functionality read from a second status register within the firstsubsystem segment,associate a first temporal ID with the first status for the first functionality and associate a second temporal ID with the second status for the functionality, andgenerate and store a consolidated status indicator for the first subsystem segment in a third register within the first subsystem segment based, at least in part, upon the first temporal ID with the first status for the first functionality and the second temporal ID with the second status for the second functionality, andwherein the first subsystem segment further includes a status mirroring engine configured to provide the consolidated status indicator to a remote memory system.
