UTSL (Universal Test Specification Language) is a programming language used to describe ASIC tests in a format that leads to an automated translation of the test specification into and executable test code. UTSL is platform (ATE) independent and provided a code generation interface for a specific platform is available, UTSL code can be translated into the programming language of a specific test platform (ATE).
History
Teradyne Inc. together with Robert Bosch GmbH agreed to developed a concept and a tool chain for an automated test-program generation. To achieve this a tester independent programming language was required. Hence, UTSL, a programming language that enables detailed description of tests in a formal format that can be translated into the ATE specific programming language was developed.
