Test executive system with progress window

摘要

An electronic test system with a progress window that enables the user to observe in one glance the progress and status of a test. The progress window is preferably comprised of graphical elements representing test results grouped along a progress axis representing the length of the test procedure. Each graphical element is preferably displayed as a bar, with the length of the bar perpendicular to the progress axis representing the value of the result. The specifications limits are represented by lines parallel to the progress axis. A line above the progress axis represents the upper specification limit and a line below the progress axis represents the lower specification limit. The bars are color coded to display the pass, fail and marginal status of the test.
