A process for electrically testing electronic devices includes connecting at least one electronic device to an automatic testing apparatus suitable for testing digital circuits, and sending, through the apparatus, control signals for electrically testing the electronic device. The process further includes electrically testing the electronic device through at least one reconfigurable digital interface connected to the apparatus through a dedicated digital communication channel and comprising a limited number of communication or connection lines strictly appointed to the exchange of the testing information. Response messages are sent from the electronic device to the apparatus through the digital communication channel in response to the control signals. The response messages contain mesaurements, failure information, and data.
