Abstract
A method of converting test vectors in an original cycle based test language into a target cycle based test language, by forming a set of templates depicting waveforms defined in the target test language, decomposing a waveform in the original test language into a set of constituent events where each event includes data showing at least a starting value and a number of subsequent edges of the waveform, comparing the template and the set of constituent events at different levels of abstraction determined in advance, in the order of a signal level, a wave kind level where the signal is configured by a plurality of wave kinds, and a character level where the wave kind is configured by a plurality of characters, and storing the waveform data in the target test language when a match is detected and retrieving corresponding parameters of the waveform in the original test language.
