Abstract :
Part 1 features the speakers of the "Wisdom from the Giants" plenary session held at the 2014 International Test Week. These \´giants\´ offer their views of how ATE has changed over the years. Part 2, which will appear in the next issue of IEEE Design & Test, will feature responses to questions from the audience. IEEE D&T thanks the plenary panel participants: moderator Kent Fuchs (University of Florida), Jacob Abraham (University of Texas at Austin), Vishwani Agrawal (Auburn University), Bill Bottoms (3MTS), Mel Breuer (University of Southern California), Wojciech Maly (Carnegie Mellon University), Sudhakar Reddy (University of Iowa), and T.S.
