Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for automated testing of electronic devices. An original test is performed on a model product ( ) while the model product ( ) is coupled to a test recorder ( ). During the test, the model product ( ) is manipulated to invoke a desired response. As the test is performed, the manipulations and the desired responses are recorded by the test recorder ( ) in an executable format ( ). Subsequently, a test analyzer ( ) is coupled to a to-be-tested product ( ), and the executable recording ( ) of the test is played such that the to-be-tested product ( ) is manipulated as the model product ( ) had been manipulated during the original test. The to-be-tested product's ( ) responses to the manipulations are compared against the model product's responses ( ). Any difference between the to-be-tested product's ( ) responses and the model product's ( ) responses are identified.
