  • Publication number: 20070260937
    Abstract: There are disclosed systems and methods for selectively logging test data. In an embodiment, a system includes code to monitor test data generated by a plurality of devices and to generate statistics related to the test data; and code to in response to the statistics related to the test data, selectively adjust a tester that generates the test data, to modify the test data logged by the tester for the plurality of devices. In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring the test data generated by a plurality of devices and generating statistics related to the test data; and in response to the statistics related to the test data, selectively adjusting a tester that generates the test data, to modify the test data obtained from the devices. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20070260938
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for logging test results, has steps for: A) accessing a stream of test data associated with a tester performing tests on a number of devices under test; B) selecting items of the test data to be logged to a data store, the selecting being performed in accord with a number of test data formatting selections; and C) logging the selected items of the test data.

  • Publication number: 20070260936
    Abstract: There are disclosed systems and methods for coordinating test results of devices within a group. In an embodiment, the system may include code to assign identifiers to test results of a first test execution, receive a user-specified beginning point, and assign identifiers to test results of a second test execution. Each device is assigned an identical identifier for the test results of the first test execution and for the test results of the second test execution. In an embodiment, the method may include assigning identifiers to test results of a first test execution; specifying a beginning point; and assigning identifiers to test results of a second test execution. Each one of the devices is assigned an identical identifier for the test results of the first execution and for the test results of the second test execution. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20070244913
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of generating a formatted data set in accord with a number of formatting rules includes the steps of A) indexing, with a standard data name referenced by one of the formatting rules, a mapping set comprising a first number of mapping pairs, each mapping pair comprising 1) a custom data name and 2) a corresponding standard data name; B) if a custom data name corresponding to the standard data name referenced by the formatting rule is found in the mapping set, C) accessing test data associated with a tester performing tests on a number of devices under test; D) identifying a data item in the test data that is associated with the custom data name corresponding to the standard data name referenced by the formatting rule; and E) then, formatting the data item associated with the custom data name in accord with the formatting rule referencing the standard data name.

  • Publication number: 20070208972
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for inferring relationships between test results 1) receives sequential test data from a tester performing tests on a number of devices under test (DUTs); 2) upon receiving a DUT identifier, determines if a data structure exists for the DUT identified by the one of the DUT identifiers; 3) upon determining that the data structure does not exist, creates the data structure and associates i) any test results associated with the one of the DUT identifiers with ii) the data structure; and 4) upon determining that the data structure exists, creates a child data structure, as a child of the data structure, and associates i) the any test results associated with the one of the DUT identifiers with ii) the child data structure, wherein the child data structure inferentially indicates that the test results associated therewith are retest results. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20070180339
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for formatting test data is provided with at least one data formatter to i) upon receiving notifications of test events, retrieve test data from a data store, and ii) generate a number of test records based on the test data. The system is also provided with an abort handler to, in response to an abort event, cause at least one of the data formatters to complete the generation of its number of test records based on currently available test data in the data store. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
