| Abstract: |
Define and develop a concept for the aggregation and analysis of Automatic Test Equipment (ATE)/Automatic Test System (ATS) and Test Program Sets (TPS) data for resource allocation. The evaluation of ATE resource allocation for a TPS is vital to process improvement. The proposed tool, Unit Adaptable TPS Resource Explorer (UARE), will mine TPS data and determine ATE resource allocation.
Instrument or resource usage and allocation on ATE during Test Program execution is a profound issue that must be tracked. There are many pertinent and critical aspects which pertain to instrument settings and usage. Instrument or resource evaluation for a TPS is a much needed notion for optimal test program operation and long term support. ATE resource utilization and recurrent problems of specific instruments or instrument settings must be revealed.

| Benefits: |
Understanding TPS ATE resource usage is an excellent and profound step forward to optimizing ATE development and resource allocation. There is a potential to refine the way a unit is tested and how resources are allocated. Optimal resource allocation can potentially lower test time and perhaps the ATE footprint. The overall benefits of this proposal will be revealed as the tool is developed and put to use. |
