Patent attributes
An example includes the following operations: identifying parameters associated with a test program, where the parameters are based on at least one of a device under test (DUT) to be tested by the test program or a type of test to be performed on the DUT by the test program; assigning weights to the parameters; generating a numerical value for the test program based on the parameters, the weights, and equations that are based on the parameters and the weights, where the numerical value is indicative of a complexity of the test program; and using the numerical value to obtain information about effort needed to develop future test programs.
