The pressure is on for test engineers

How to improve their jobs while ensuring high product quality and manufacturing yields

Executive summary

 Labor shortages, high-mix manufacturing and faster time to market is putting the  squeeze on test engineers. In this challenging environment, they do not have the time to  analyze a schematic and layout manually for creating an optimal testing strategy. Today’s  software for industry allows them to build a product model, to transfer the real world  into an automated digital format, providing them with the solutions to transform the  process of creating and running in-circuit and flying probe tests. In this paper, we look at  how engineers can use software to manage, automate and debug these two test  methods, saving time, increasing accuracy and improving product quality and yields.
