Unit Under Test Simulator Feasibility Study.

Abstract

This report addresses the use of a Unit Under Test (UUT) simulator as a potential solution for supporting the verification and validation (V&V) 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)
