1. A heterogeneous test equipment interfacing apparatus comprising:
a plurality of data intermediate apparatuses connected to a plurality of environment test chambers, wherein each of the plurality of data intermediate apparatuses converts an electric signal received from at least one environment test chamber interoperating with a corresponding data intermediate apparatus from among the plurality of environment test chambers into a data signal based on a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and output the data signal; and
at least one computer apparatus interoperating with the plurality of data intermediate apparatuses,
wherein each of the plurality of data intermediate apparatuses outputs a control signal for controlling the at least one environment test chamber interoperating with a corresponding data intermediate apparatus according to an operation control instruction received from the at least one computer apparatus,
wherein the at least one computer apparatus executes:
a plurality of commonization daemons, which are executable as a single process on a single computer or executable on multiple computers in correspondence to the plurality of data intermediate apparatuses;
an abstract interface implementing an input interface of a corresponding commonization daemon from among the plurality of commonization daemons to receive the data signal from a corresponding data intermediate apparatus from among the plurality of data intermediate apparatuses and to implement a modified interface according to heterogeneous digital interfaces; and
a common interface implementing an output interface of a commonization daemon from among the plurality of commonization daemons, generating chamber data of the environment test chamber according to the data signal received from the abstract interface as common data in a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format, and transmitting the common data to a storage interface and a distribution interface.
