Design for Test

Test Coach Corporation (Test Coach)

Test Coach offers Design for Test (DFT) consulting to assist customers with design review of prototype boards prior to release for production. Design for Test analysis is extremely important in ensuring that an assembly will achieve the highest possible test coverage. For ICT, this DFT will review the board to confirm that the bed-of-nails test fixture can be fabricated to test an assembly without sacrificing test coverage. As with ICT, Flying Probe benefits from DFT analysis by reviewing test point access and mechanical challenges that may affect the potential test coverage. Completing a DFT enables Test Coach to make recommendations to our customers that may be implemented on boards during the design phase which will allow for the most comprehensive coverage at time of test.
