    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a multi-core test processor, and an integrated circuit test system and method. The multi-core test processor includes a co-test-processor-sync-controller, a master-test-processor, two or more co-test-processors, and a test subsystem command switching device. Several co-test-processors are introduced under the master-test-processor. The master-test-processor will deliver test patterns that require concurrent testing to the co-test-processors for execution, so as to complete test items similar to the asynchronous signal match test. After the co-test-processors complete the test, the master-test-processor continues to carry out the subsequent test. The present disclosure can achieve asynchronous concurrent test on multiple sites and improve the test efficiency. Meanwhile, idling of fewer test channels can be avoided when asynchronous test channels are allocated to each site, thereby improving test channel utilization rate.
