  • Device evaluation using automatic connection path reconfiguration
    Publication number: 20070255869
    Abstract: Testing of computing devices and/or peripherals coupled via a wired bus may be facilitated through automatically re-configuring connections between computing devices and peripherals. A switching device may selectively couple and de-couple computing devices and peripherals for testing purposes. A control device may send control commands to the switching device to couple and decouple computing devices and peripherals in accordance with a testing schedule or program. The ability of a peripheral device and a computing device to function together while coupled via the wired bus may be evaluated.
