Abstract

The architecture and implementation of the Remote Interactive Scan Environment (RISE++), an object-oriented software system that makes use of distributed computing techniques, are discussed. This system supports the development, application, and debugging of scan-based tests for the HP/Apollo Series 10000 RISC workstation and can be used with other scan architectures. RISE++ executes on a separate workstation and communicates with the system under test via a local area network. Test engineers can develop and debug scan tests under RISE++ because it tracks may trivial but important details for them and provides them with precise control over the test hardware.<>
