Abstract

An electronic test system with a multi-level tree structure for summarizing the results of the test. The levels of the tree correspond to the hierarchical levels in the execution of a test procedure. The highest level, or first level, represents the result for the whole test procedure. Level two represents the results of various tests. Level three represents the results of various measurements performed in a test, and level four represents the results for various datapoints for a given measurement. Preferably, each level in the tree structure is characterized by a graphical element. The graphical element provides the information on the status of the result at that level. In the tree structure, the results at a higher level are determined by summarizing the results at the adjacent sub-level.
