Claim One:
1. A method for formulating a test associated with a component to be tested on a tester, said method comprising the steps of: accessing a knowledge framework comprising actions and associated validation criteria corresponding to the component to be tested; selecting an action from said knowledge framework and its associated validation criteria; formulating a proposed theoretically unflawed test based on said selected action and said associated validation criteria; submitting said proposed theoretically unflawed test to said tester for execution; receiving results of said proposed theoretically unflawed test from said tester; analyzing said received results in view of said validation criteria associated with said action on which said proposed theoretically unflawed test was formulated; and if said analyzing determines that said proposed theoretically unflawed test meets said validation criteria, presenting said proposed theoretically unflawed test as a valid test for testing said component.
