Abstract
A computer based test operating system (CBTOS) which reduces the overall software development costs by minimizing the time required to generate computer based test procedures. The CBTOS has various features including a test procedure and a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI allows non-software developers to create inter-edit test procedures for a variety of units under test (UUTs). Further, the GUI allows the definition of supporting test devices required to test a UUT as well as allowing the definition and protocols for specific UUT communications interfaces. The four main components of the CBTOS are a tolerance manager (TM), a test procedure editor (TPE), a device data manager (DDM) and a instrument interface module (IIM).
