Functional Test and Test-Point Planning: Make Conditions Executable
Organise functions, test access and expected results as repeatable engineering information.
Details
Back to listTesting starts with accessible conditions
IPC-2581 covers manufacturing, assembly and inspection-related data, and the IPC checklist includes net and test information. Functional verification first needs to identify the power, signal and interfaces that testing must access.
Test-planning checklist
- Functional item, input condition and expected output
- Access through test point, connector, fixture or external equipment
- Record format, fault handling and decision conditions still to confirm
Project handoff
Tie the test checklist to the design revision, then recheck affected test items and access conditions whenever the design changes.
