Abstract
Provided is a method and system for distributing a test recipe to a tester for conducting a test to determine if a device under test operates as designed. The method includes storing an active test recipe in an active memory in local communication with the tester, and initiating the test of the device under test to be performed by the tester according to a parameter included in the active test recipe stored in the active memory. A second parameter included in a second test recipe is received by the tester while conducting the test of the device under test according to the parameter included in the active test recipe. The method further includes storing the second parameter in a buffer memory in local communication with the active memory, and initiating a transfer of the second parameter from the buffer memory to the active memory. After initiation of the transfer of the second parameter to the active memory, a subsequent test to be performed by the tester according to the second parameter included in the second test recipe is initiated.
