1. A Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture, MicroTCA, test system comprising:
an interconnect for communication between modules of the MicroTCA test system;
a test controller module coupled to the interconnect and comprising an interface for coupling to at least a first unit under test; and
an interface module coupled to the interconnect and arranged to receive test instruction messages from an external connection and comprising a forwarding controller arranged to forward the received test instruction messages to the test controller module via the interconnect, the test instruction messages comprising test input data for at least a first unit under test; and
wherein the test controller module furthermore comprises
a extraction processor for extracting the test input data from the test instruction messages; and
a test controller for performing a test of the first unit under test in response to the test input data.
