Cable management method and test device

The invention provides a cable management method and a test device. The method comprises the steps of establishing a test engineering, selecting a first test cable and a device to be tested, and linking the test engineering, the first test cable and the device to be tested; reading the information of a second test cable when it is detected that the second test cable is connected, and starting up the test engineering for test when it is determined that the information of the second test cable matches with the information of the first test cable. The invention can prevent the problem of cable misplug. 种线缆管理的方法及测试设备，该方法包括：创建测试工程，选择第测试线缆与被测设备，将所述测试工程、所述第测试线缆与所述被测设备进行关联；检测到第二测试线缆连接后，读取所述第二测试线缆的信息，确定所述第二测试线缆的信息与所述第测试线缆的信息匹配，则启动所述测试工程进行测试。本方案可以预防线缆错插的问题。
