Packeted protocol device test system

Abstract:

Aspects include configuring a plurality of functional self-test controllers in a test control device to run a plurality of functional test cases in parallel on a plurality of devices under test. Test traffic is arbitrated between the functional self-test controllers and a plurality of packeted protocol layer interfaces of the test control device. One or more protocol specific conversions are performed between the test traffic and a device-specific packeted protocol of each of the devices under test. Payload checking is performed between the packeted protocol layer interfaces and the devices under test to verify responses of the devices under test to the functional test cases.
