Claim:
1. A testing method for semiconductor manufacturing equipment comprising the steps of: (a) providing a first test panel which includes a first connector surface and a plurality of first test-object connectors mounted over the first connector surface, each of the plurality of first test object connectors having a terminal electrically coupled with an object to be tested, (b) providing a second test panel which includes a second connector surface and a plurality of second test-object connectors mounted over the second connector surface, each of the plurality of second test object connectors having a probe that is extensible and retractable in a direction from the second connector surface of the second test panel toward the first connector surface of the first test panel, and (c) testing an electrical characteristic of the object to be tested by, in a state with the first connector surface of the first test panel and the second connector surface of the second test panel facing each other, coupling the probes of the second test-object connectors to respective terminals of the first test-object connectors, wherein the distances between the first connector surface of the first test panel and the terminals respectively included in the first test-object connectors are not uniform.
