Once PCBs have been completed they are, if requested by the customer, functionally tested prior to mechanical integration or dispatch. Whilst we do manufacture without test we always prefer that volume products are tested in house. Information collected from any test failures can be used to determine if process adjustments are required.

Functional testing can be performed in a number of ways with varying degrees of thoroughness and can be supplemented by soak testing if required.

Functional testing is supported on a number of platforms:

• Customer supplied test kit.
  
• Custom built test equipment.
  
• Norcott's Configurable Test System (CTS).
