Test Strategy Development

Standardize where practical to lower costs

Use common hardware and software test platform for multiple products

Develop efficient process to create tests for new products

Ensure test stations are appropriately efficient and rugged

Validate test stations to ensure they perform as specified

concept to customer solutions

Solution Sources Programming, Inc.

Standardized Test Platform

Develop flexible test platforms to test multiple boards & products

Make it easy to switch testing from one product to another

Use LabVIEW and TestStand

Build upon existing re-use code library Use out-of-the-box TestStand features rather than

re-invent the wheel

Build in troubleshooting tools and ways to “test the tester”
