The approach to high-end aerospace/defense test system development is shifting from application-specific systems to common core automated systems to reduce overall cost and increase flexibility.

Until very recently, semiconductor design, verification, and test were separate domains. Those domains have since begun to merge, driven by rising demand for reliability, shorter market windows, and ...

Decades of advances in the semiconductor industry continue to drive an insatiable consumer demand for smaller, more powerful, more ubiquitous semiconductor devices—whether in our cars, within our ...

With the proliferation of fiber-optic products containing interfaces ranging from Gigabit Ethernet to 10-Gbps SONET, the demand for optical testing capabilities is high. Unfortunately, so is the cost ...

With the rapid growth in semiconductor content in today’s vehicles, IC designers need to improve their process of meeting functional safety requirements defined by the ISO 26262 standard. The ISO ...

Steve Marks and Barbara Koczera accepted the Best in Test plaque for the TR5001T Tiny ICT. The TR5001T Tiny ICT is a feature-rich board tester with a laptop-sized footprint that provides a ...

Testing software based on its functional requirements. It ensures that the program physically works the way it was intended and all required menu options are present. It also ensures that the program ...
