Automatic Computer Program Generation for Automatic Testing Systems (ATS).

Abstract

This is a report of an investigation of automatic computer program generation for Automatic Test Equipment. The feasibility of replacing human programmers by an automatic process is demonstrated through description and design of a language and a processor for this purpose. The system is referred to as NOPAL, an acronym for Nonprocedural Operational Performance Analysis Language. The report consists of five sections: Introduction, Major Sections of the Test Specification Language, Test Module Specification Language, Automatic Sequencing of Tests, and Conclusions and Recommendations.
