An efficient automated test system and method are presented. In one embodiment, an automated test system is implemented in a routed event distribution architecture. In one exemplary implementation, an automated test system includes a plurality of test instruments, a switched event bus, and a test controller component. The plurality of test instruments perform testing. The switched event bus communicatively couples the plurality of instruments. The switched event bus comprises an event distribution switch that flexibly routes event information across event lines of the switched event bus. The test controller controls the testing and the switched event bus.
