New cooling control techniques suitable for use in the testing of devices are disclosed. The new cooling control techniques are an improvement over existing cooling control techniques because the new cooling control techniques utilize inputs that are more representative of actual thermal conditions experienced by a DUT (device under test) and/or are more representative of various other parameters, such as DUT power consumption/dissipation, during testing. Also, the new cooling control techniques offer flexibility with respect to the cooling control algorithm to employ for the DUT during testing.

DUT testing with configurable cooling control using DUT internal temperature data

A system for performing an automated test is disclosed. The system comprises a first user computer operable to load a first test plan from a first user to a control server and a second user computer operable to load a second test plan from a second user to the control server. The system further comprises a tester comprising at least one rack for deploying a plurality of primitives. The control server is communicatively coupled to the first user computer, the second user computer and to the tester, wherein the control server is operable to allocate a first subset of primitives to the first test plan and manage execution of the first test plan on the first subset of primitives, and also operable to concurrently allocate a second subset of primitives to the second test plan and manage execution of the second test plan on the second subset of primitives.

Test system supporting multiple users using different applications

A system for performing an automated test is disclosed. The system comprises a user computer operable to load a test program from a user to a control server, wherein the test program comprises a plurality of test flows. The system further comprises a tester deploying a plurality of primitives. Further, the control server is communicatively coupled to the user computer and to the tester, wherein the control server is operable to download the test program to a primitive from the plurality of primitives, and wherein the control server is further operable to execute a first test flow from the plurality of test flows on a first DUT within the primitive and concurrently execute a second test flow from the plurality of test flows on a second DUT within the primitive.
