Abstract
Presented embodiments facilitate efficient and effective flexible implementation of different types of testing procedures in a test system. In one embodiment, a flexible sideband support system comprises a load board, testing electronics coupled to the load board, a controller coupled to the testing electronics. The load board is configured to couple with a plurality of devices under test (DUTs), wherein the load board includes in-band testing ports and sideband testing ports. The testing electronics is configured to test the plurality of DUTs, wherein a portion of testing electronics are organized in sideband resource groups. The controller is configured to direct testing of the DUTs, wherein the controller is coupled to the testing electronics and the controller directs selective allocation of the testing electronics in the sideband resource groups to various testing operations of the DUTs. In one exemplary implementation, the controller directs a portion of sideband testing of a plurality of DUTs concurrently.
