Test TrendsTest is a commodity
Issues are mature – little difference between vendorsHigher density boards -lack of test probe access Verify assembly process not parts
Screened parts don’t fail (normally)Programmable devices (where to program)Designers using standard Test interfaces
Boundary ScanTree-TestingSPI, I2C, ISP (serial interface protocols)

Why Test?
Verification of productBusiness ReputationLow Volumes – less control of processPay Me Now or Pay Me Later
Basic Rule of 10
![Page 8: What is Just Enough Test?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021212/620687265e05a27c43284070/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Test Considerations
TimeVolumeCostQualityThe earlier a fault is found in manufacturing process the cheaper it is to fix (Rule of 10)

Boundary Scan Issue
More acceptance than everBut most customers don’t implementPC motherboards don’t (Nand Tree)Cell phones have no test padsStill parts without compliant BSDL
Micro-controllersAutomotive industry likes CAN
Its has many versions

Big Iron vs Low Cost
Big Iron is still the Tried and True standardDo you need 10MHz?Do you need timing sets?
Low Cost is worth investigating if new linesStill need standard driver/sensorsWhat about multiple vendor support
![Page 41: What is Just Enough Test?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021212/620687265e05a27c43284070/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Distributed TestUse strengths of different types of testAOI for presence/bypass & reverse capsPhysical test for shorts and valuesDigital test for program/verificationNo software talks to all vendors (assy/test)Testers need to be able to turn on/off any test
![Page 42: What is Just Enough Test?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021212/620687265e05a27c43284070/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Manufacturing Test
Once process is good little goes wrongWhy Test all partsMaybe test changes in processExample: Replacing a reel of partsWhy Test all parts on the reel
![Page 43: What is Just Enough Test?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021212/620687265e05a27c43284070/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Test SamplingTesters will ability to turn on/off testsRequired for distributed testDrawbacks
QualityCustomer ExpectationsWho takes the blame for a test escape
Could a report even be generated to explain what happened. If its dynamic the conditions changed by the time the fault is found
![Page 44: What is Just Enough Test?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021212/620687265e05a27c43284070/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Functional Failures
How many bad parts are found?Are the failures structural?Is any particular test better at catching these failures and why didn’t it?Did test introduce any failures?
![Page 45: What is Just Enough Test?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021212/620687265e05a27c43284070/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
45
False FailuresWhat do False Failures cost?Rules usually state you must replaceAre the parts really bad?Reasons for False Failures
Marginally testFixtures/ProbesAllow retest and fixture recycling

Conclusion
Test is mature and is a commodityBoundary Scan only solutions are not viable if there aren’t any boundary scan partsTest can’t be more flexible with current mind sets –not necessarily a bad thingDistributed Test has a long way to go
More work to be done – mainly software and controlLow Cost solutions are viable and available
