Abstract
A hardware independent and graphically extensible tester state browsing technique for observing and modifying operating state of test equipment includes accessing a descriptor file describing an architecture of the test equipment, invoking a set of plugins associated with one or more subsystems of the test equipment, and displaying a map with a set of drill-down mechanisms each associated with different ones of the subsystems of the test equipment which invoke the respective plugin associated with its corresponding respective subsystem.
