<p>In embodiments of the invention methods and apparatus (105) for scheduling the use of test resources of a test arrangement (100) for the execution of test groups are described. The inventive method comprises obtaining (10) an assignment of a test resource of the test arrangement (100) to each test group (TG) of a test flow (5) for testing a device under test (DUT) using the test arrangement (100), wherein the test flow (5) comprises an initial execution order of the test groups. Furthermore, the method comprises checking (20) whether there is a resource conflict (7) between an assignment of a test resource of a test group in a test flow (5) and an assignment of one or more test resources of another test group in another test flow, which other test group is scheduled for a temporally overlapping execution with the given test group using the test arrangement. In addition, the method comprises a step of manipulating (30) the execution order of a test group (TG) in a test flow in response to the result of checking whether there is a resource conflict, such that a resource conflict is eliminated by performing a swap-operation (11) in a test flow between a test group associated with a resource conflict with a higher priority compared to performing a time-interval-insert-operation in combination with a move-operation, moving the test group associated with the resource conflict to an inserted time interval.</p> |
