CHOOSING A TEST LAB FOR YOUR PROJECT

Assurance of Test Quality

Basic steps that can help measure the quality of your test:

• Take control of selecting your test lab
• Ask for detailed quotes listing specific parameters tested
• Request a specification summary for the targeted tester
• Does the tester have enough pins?
• Does it have accurate enough DC and AC resources?
• Can the tester run at the required device frequency?
• For linear and less complex devices request a full test datalog
• The datalog should show all the DC test limits and measurements
• Functional tests generally are not listed
• Ask for an open-socket datalog since this will show that tests fail when no device is present
• For higher complexity devices
• Ask for a test key that gives the details of the functional test
• Request a list of device instructions executed in a program
• Visit your lab and perform a sample review of actual test programs
• Run the program on the tester and have an engineer show how the tester and program operate
