Abstract:

This report addresses the use of a Unit Under Test UUT simulator as a potential solution for supporting the verification and validation VV of test programs for automatic test equipment ATE. The objectives are to increase the effectiveness of the verification and validation and to reduce development costs. The study approach involved a top-down look at the nature of the problem and a bottom-up look at the techniques and technologies that could be applied to realize a UUT simulator. The recommended solution is based on multiple levels of simulation and uses either an instrument bus interface to the test equipment or a software-only-based interface to the test-program interpreter. Further issues of cost-effectiveness must be addressed for the Modular Automatic Test Equipment MATE context. Author
