Abstract
A test programming architecture provides an application development and execution framework for the development and execution of test programs for a programmable tester for circuits, including a view class library encapsulating objects of a windowing system, one or more tools having view objects for interacting with a user, a visual interface class library framework providing common tool functionality by defining behavior common to tools in a superclass for individual tools, a persistent object environment manager (POEM), an object database accessible to the POEM module for database transactions, and an object request broker providing communication among view objects in tools, test objects in POEM, and a test program running on the tester.
