Real-time test controller

摘要

The real-time test controller maintains a failure database containing a history of past failures for devices under test and selectively sorts the history for the device to be tested. The diagnostic testing sequence is then rearranged with tests having higher failure rates being conducted first. If faults are detected, a message is provided to the operator and the failure database is either manually or automatically updated with the latest fault information. In this manner, a continuously updated history of faults is maintained and the most efficient testing sequence is followed, resulting in significant time and cost savings.
