First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- creating a test executive sequence, wherein the test executive sequence includes a first plurality of steps to be performed by a test executive engine to test a unit under test (UUT); and
configuring the test executive sequence with a process model, wherein the process model includes a second plurality of steps to be performed by the test executive engine before and/or after executing the first plurality of steps, wherein the process model is configured to accept process model plug-ins to define the second plurality of steps, wherein said configuring the test executive sequence with the process model comprises selecting one or more process model plug-ins for the process model, wherein each process model plug-in includes two or more of the second plurality of steps.

Abstract
Test executive system and method of use. The system includes a test executive engine, configured to execute at least one test executive sequence to test at least one unit under test (UUT), a process model that specifies one or more function sequences for pre-test or post-test functionality for the test executive sequences, and a plug-in framework, configured to selectively incorporate one or more process model plug-in instances in the process model. Each process model plug-in instance specifies at least one respective function sequence for pre-test or post-test functionality for the test executive sequences.

18. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and memory storing program instructions, wherein the program instructions are executable by the one or more processors to implement; creating a test executive sequence, wherein the test executive sequence includes a first plurality of steps to be performed by a test executive engine to test a unit under test (UUT); and configuring the test executive sequence with a process model, wherein the process model includes a second plurality of steps to be performed by the test executive engine before and/or after executing the first plurality of steps, wherein the process model is configured to accept process model plug-ins to define the second plurality of steps, wherein said configuring the test executive sequence with the process model comprises selecting one or more process model plug-ins for the process model, wherein each process model plug-in includes two or more of the second plurality of steps.
