Abstract: Test data model and test data structure creation improvements are disclosed for enterprise test data management systems in the test, measurement and automation environment. A hierarchical test data model for a plurality of test systems includes hierarchical data objects configured to store test data related information. In addition, one or more data objects within the test data model are linked such that data entered into one object can be used by another object or can be automatically propagated to linked objects. And default data object properties are defined such that each new data object includes the default properties. Still further, a graphical user interface (GUI) can be provided through which information can be input to the database where the GUI includes a first frame showing a structure for the hierarchical test data model and a second frame automatically showing one or more data input fields related to an object selected within the first frame. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Test data model and test data structure creation improvements are disclosed for enterprise test data management systems in the test, measurement and automation environment. In part, an enterprise test data management system is disclosed that utilizes a test data structure creation tool configured to operate on one or more server systems to automatically generate test data structures for the database. In addition, the test data management system can utilize a run-time tool that is configured to analyze test data received from a test system, to determine if fields for the data exist in the database, and if not, to automatically generate the fields for the data in the database. The test data management system can also utilize a data import tool that is configured to analyze historical test data files, to map data within the historical data files to fields within the database, and to automatically generate new fields for the data in the database. Related systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Enterprise test configuration and data management systems and associated methods are disclosed for test, measurement and automation environments that allow management, configuration and analysis of test systems and associated data across enterprise-wide test operations. These systems and methods are directed to the production process from the test and test station point of view and provides a variety of mechanisms for test configuration and data management for test stations (or automated test equipment (ATEs)) including the capability of managing data about each test station, hardware resources, software resources, test configuration, test steps, acquired measurements, test execution, and/or other information related to the tests, the test stations or the units-under-test (UUT).
