Abstract:
A system for automated testing of an electronic device, comprising:a test recorder coupled to a model product during an original test via a communication link, the test recorder operable to generate and store a test record of an original test while the original test is performed, the test record comprising: a manipulation entry representing an original manipulation signal, and a model response entry representing an original response signal; and a test analyzer operable to play the test record, the test analyzer coupled to a to-be-tested product via a test link such that when the test analyzer plays the test record, the to-be-tested product: receives a test signal that simulates on the to-be-tested product the original manipulation signal of the original test; generates a test response signal representing a result of the test signal; and communicates the test response signal to the test analyzer, the test analyzer operable to compare the test response signal against the model response entry and to identify a test response that differs from the model response entry.
