Abstract:
1. A test development tool comprising: test development program code for accessing a pre-established serial test program, said pre-established serial test program having been previously established for respective first and second sub-parts on a device under test, and said pre-established serial test program having a series of test code portions; test development program code for evaluating the series of test code portions and determining whether any respective test code portions of said series of test code portions are independent subtest code portions that are independently operable thereby allowing for combination in a new concurrent test program, said test development program code for evaluating and determining providing at least one output result therefrom; test development program code for defining a new concurrent test program for at least partially concurrently testing the first and second sub-parts of the device under test including defining at least one new test code portion for at least partially concurrently testing the first and second sub-parts of the device under test using the at least one output result of the test development code for evaluating and determining, the new test code portion being defined to have at least two of the independently operable subtest portions therein to operate concurrently.
