'In-Circuit Test' is a seldom discussed subject at the 'designer's round
table' here... 

 

I'm curious how other designers are affected by test points and how they
deal with testability in their designs. 

 

I have placed test points in schematics and treated them as 'components' on
the board before...

What have you seen for test point support from the CAD vendors and is there
an easy way to automate this?

Also those who have to test for a living... what is the process you use and
are the outputs from these CAD tools any help? 

 

 

Best regards, 

 

Bill Brooks, CID+
