Abstract:
1. An electronic system for automated testing of a device with an output of measurable physical characteristics, comprising: test equipment to continuously control, physically stimulate, request and receive the measurable physical characteristics output from the device and relay the measurable physical characteristics by electronic signals data transmission; a test controller module comprising: a test software providing continuous instructions to run a testing process by executing test routines and test sequencers and communicating with test equipment to instruct it to control and stimulate the device, then request and receive the measurable physical characteristics by electronic signals data transmission, then save the electronic signals data in various machine readable formats for submission to the electronic system; a test agent process which continuously monitors and polls for notification that new electronic signals data is received from the test equipment by the test software for submission to the electronic system; a central processing unit on which the test software runs; memory and machine readable media coupled with the central processing unit, the test software residing within the memory and machine readable media; the test controller module coupled to the test equipment by a plurality of specific electronic connections from the central processing unit; a networked cloud-interface for storing the saved electronic signals data, wherein the test agent process verifies connectivity of the central processing unit and the test controller module to the networked cloud-interface; a data receiver module which receives the electronic signals data from the test agent process; a data storage unit which reads, parses and stores the saved electronic signals data onto permanent data storage; a rack of application servers permanently coupled to the data storage unit to access the saved electronic signals data; a data analysis module for applying transformational functions and plotting the electronic signals data according to mathematical and statistical formulae; a reporting module for recursively filtering and expressing the electronic signals data into a specific human readable formatted results desired by an end-user; a publication module allowing the end-user to create final documents based on the electronic signals data; a visualization module allowing the end-user to view the electronic signals data in a graphical form; a web-based interface linked to the rack of application servers through the data analysis, visualization, reporting and publication modules to request the specific human readable formatted results desired by the end-user through specific parameters defined by the electronic system for automated testing; the web-based interface also providing the end-user free-form access to the electronic signals data, allowing direct browsing, search, filter and commenting functionalities.
