Test Capabilities

Precision Testing.  Reliable Results.  Total Confidence.

Excellence Through Testing.

At SMT, we believe that reliable test strategies are essential to product success.  Whether you're bringing a new prototype to life or ramping up for high-volume production, testing isn't just a checkpoint - it's an opportunity to prevent costly errors, improve performance, and accelerate your time to market.

Why Test Matters

At SMT, test engineering isn't just an afterthought - it's the foundation for product reliability and lifecycle success.  Each test strategy we develop ensures that your product is not only manufacturable but also dependable in the field.

Why it matters:

  • Prevent costly failures: Detect defects during prototype and EVT builds, before they reach production.
  • Accelerate time-to-market: Streamline debug and validation with ICT and functional test coverage.
  • Protect your brand: Consistent, rigorous test ensures every unit meets performance requirements.
  • Scale with confidence: From prototypes through volume production, test platforms and strategies scale seamlessly.
  • Reduce cost & risk: Coverage analysis, fixture reviews, and traceable results minimize risk across the supply chain.

Our Testing Capabilities

SMT's testing capabilities cover every stage of your product lifecycle, from in-circuit and functional testing to strategy development and deployment.  With dedicated engineering resources, custom fixtures, and build-in DFM/DFT expertise, we ensure your products are reliable, scalable, and ready for market.

 

In-Circuit Testing (ICT)

Verifies individual component values, shorts/opens, and digital functions with fast fault isolation - ideal for mid-to-high volume production.  Supports boundary scan and JTAG testing for complex PCBs.

Functional Testing

Simulates real-world operation scenarios using custom-designed fixtures and software to detect system-level issues post-assembly.

Design for Test (DFT)

Early DFT reviews improve coverage, reduce cost, and ensure smooth fixture development.  By addressing testability up front, we help you avoid redesigns and accelerate time-to-market.

Test Deployment

Robust deployment ensures test strategies scale seamlessly from prototype to production.  With documented workflows, fixtures, and operator guidance, every build stage stays consistent and reliable.

Engineering Resources

Our multidisciplinary team brings expertise in electrical, firmware, and fixture engineering.  From optical integration to root-cause analysis, we provide the technical depth to solve complex test strategies.

Test Strategy Development

We build test roadmaps that evolve from prototype through production, ensuring consistent coverage at every stage.  With risk-based planning and clear KPIs, your product launches with measurable confidence.

Why Our Testing Makes a Difference

Our advanced test capabilities deliver measurable value by enabling early defect detection, which helps minimize costly rework and warranty claims.  Inline testing integrates seamlessly with production processes, reducing time to market.  Real-time analytics support data-driven decisions, enhancing traceability and yield improvement.  Additionally, we offer custom test protocols tailored to each client's specifications, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
