A method for analyzing test results. The method includes selecting a first subset of tests from a plurality of tests. Test results are gathered from the plurality of tests in real-time. A first statistical analysis is performed on test results from the first subset of tests. At least one process control rule is initiated as determined by results of the first statistical analysis performed on the test results from the first subset of tests.

Adaptive value capture for process monitoring

A method of testing a device. The method comprises determining a computational window. The computational window is a time period of device testing activity below an activity threshold. The at least one computational window occurs during the device testing activity. The method further comprises creating and executing a decision tree during the computational window. The decision tree comprises a scheduled test analysis of test results and a selection of test control actions scheduled to execute in response to the test analysis.

Creation and scheduling of a decision and execution tree of a test cell controller

An apparatus for testing a device. The apparatus comprises a test control module and a test analysis module. The test control module is operable to generate and transmit first prober and handler (PH) requests to a supervisor module. The supervisor module is operable to transmit first PH commands to a prober and handler for execution thereof. The test analysis module is operable to generate and transmit second PH requests to the supervisor module. The supervisor module is further operable to transmit second PH commands to the prober and handler for execution thereof. The execution of the second PH commands are performed transparently to the test control module.
