Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) is the term used for test and measurement systems which employ digital processors to generate test stimuli, perform measurements and analyse results. These have been used in the manufacturing and maintenance industry since the last few decades. There has been an increasing shift towards automated testing during this period. This has largely been due to the advantages that automated testing offers over manual testing. These include improved productivity, consistent results, lower cost per test and generally a lower operator skill level required to conduct these test and perform rectification.
