Test Development

Test development activities follow documented procedures. Processes have been refined from experiences to meet relevant standards such as ISO9001-2000 standards.
Development is focused on test requirement analysis and documentation in the form of a test specification. Design verification activities include reviews at key points during the design. Reviews include organized peer reviews of the product-related hardware, fixtures, and software. A risk analysis of test requirements and test designs is performed for test solutions for medical devices and for other high risk products as required. Test reviews and other key activities are called out in a project plan. Projects are not complete without a validation process. A test plan is written, approved, and implemented to fulfill the validation phase.
Activity
  • Gather initial information and test intent
  • Propose a test solution with preliminary requirements
  • Solidify test requirements
  • Develop / document test solution
  • Validate test solution
  • Deliver test solution to production environment
Documentation
  • Request for quote
  • Proposal
  • Test Specification
  • Design Specification
  • Test plan / test results
  • Transition / maintenance
  • Functional Test
Functional test makes you sure that the received PCB assemblies are in operating conditions
As a full service test provider, the Functional Test Developers at Silicon can improve an existing test system or design new solutions to meet specified test strategies. Our experienced functional test developers start with a provided test specification, or study the product and generate a product- specific test requirements specification. The specification is the guiding document to the development, review, and validation of the test solution..

Tools used by Test Development
  • National Instruments TestStand and LabVIEW for test coding
  • ProEngineer/Solidworks for mechanical test fixture development
  • Orcad / Mentor Expedition / NI Multisim for custom circuit board development
  • National Instruments Vision Builder for automated inspections
  • Environmental Stress Screening
Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) and Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS) are processes which subject products to one or more stresses with the intent of precipitating latent defects. The range of stresses is typically induced to the maximum conditions recommended for the product , and are derived from HALT activities.


Silicon regularly develops and utilizes ESS systems to accelerate the occurrence of early life failures. This is done to detect and therefore limit the exposure in the field of early component failure. This “rock & rolling” or “shake & baking” ensures that the end user of your product, your customer, receives a quality, dependable product.
Typical Implementations
  • Room temperature burn-in
  • Burn-in at elevated thermal levels
  • Thermal cycling < 15°C/min
  • Rapid rate thermal cycling > 15°C/min (typically >25°C/min)
 
  • Thermal cycling and random multiple axis vibration
  • Other stresses including voltage margining, frequency margining, and power cycling
  • Product monitors are used to test the effectiveness of a screen
