The Testability Director

The Testability Director Description:

The Testability Director is a spreadsheet template, which guides in the development of testable designs. It contains the Inherent Testability Checklist used with MIL-STD-2165, the U.S. Government's Testability Program for Electronic Systems and Equipments. But Version 3.2 goes much further, bringing you hundreds of guidelines from IC design through board and system testing. It includes guidelines for X-ray and Automated Optical Inspection. It also includes fixturing guidelines for bed-of nails, flying probe and even vectorless test approaches. Developed by world renown experts on testability, it includes both digital and analog guidelines and spans from manufacturing through support. It is dynamic, allowing you to add criteria which may be specific to your needs. The following shows a sample page from The Testability Director: The Testability Director will give you an Overall Testability Score in various aspects of circuit design.
