Abstract
A method for performing tests using automated test equipment (ATE) is presented. The method comprises obtaining information concerning a test class using a graphical user interface. Further, it comprises generating a first header file automatically, wherein the first header file comprises the information concerning the test class. Next, it comprises importing the first header file into a test plan operable to execute using a tester operating system wherein the test plan comprises instances of the test class. It further comprises, generating a second header file from the first header file automatically, wherein the second header file is a header file for the test class. The method also comprises validating the test plan using the tester operating system. Finally, the method comprises loading the test plan and a compiled module onto the tester operating system for execution, wherein the compiled module is a compiled translation of the test class.
