Patent ID: 8400180

Claim:
A method of testing, comprising: first manipulating a to-be-tested device (TBTD) of a plurality of TBTDs, via a first robot, into connection with a first pin stimulatable by a test resource of a tester; first controlling the tester to connect the test resource to the first pin and commence a test by the tester at the first pin on the TBTD connected to the first pin; second manipulating another TBTD of the plurality of TBTDs, via a second robot, into connection with a second pin stimulatable by the test resource of the tester; second controlling the tester to connect the test resource to the second pin and commence the test by the tester at the second pin on the TBTD connected to the second pin; and master controlling to perform at least part of the first manipulating as to each next successive TBTD of the plurality of TBTDs during test by the tester at the second pin, to perform the second controlling upon completion of test by the tester at the first pin, to perform at least part of the second manipulating as to each next successive TBTD of the plurality of TBTDs during test by the tester at the first pin, and to perform the first controlling upon completion of test by the tester at the second pin, wherein the first controlling commences immediately upon completion of the test by the tester at the second pin.
