Design for Test

Due to the cost of test equipment and the associated labour costs, design for test is increasingly the main focus with our customers. Early discussion is vital, particularly if boundary scan or in-circuit testing is desirable / possible as this impacts the design very early on.

We have a range of test options and can discuss the relative costs and benefits of each covering

• In circuit test
• Flying probe
• Boundary scan / JTAG
• Functional / board level testing
• System testing

Another key discussion point is getting the balance correct between board level and system level testing and again we will be only too pleased to provide input and assistance in this area.
