The disclosed technology teaches delivering scarce test equipment resources to a user within a test organization: receiving a test graph that specifies equipment capabilities needed, by class and times when the capabilities are needed. The technology includes maintaining an inventory of equipment resources and capabilities, by class, and responsive to the user invoking the graph, scheduling the needed equipment: identifying alternative resources responsive to the need and selecting a group of resources to schedule; bundling the group of resources to schedule into an immediate bundle needed to start the test and a deferred bundle needed later, after the start of the test; and queuing a deferred bundle reservation for a later time, after the scheduled start of the test. During the test, the technology includes notifying the user of availability of the equipment resources in the deferred bundle when they become available and marking the deferred bundle as in use.
