 The test should be done on a Cellular Phone or Pager that
has A Logic and a RF board. Bring in New systems. Right
out of the box with no software loaded. Give the designers
schematics and data sheets. They can be judged on the
following:

 The time it takes from breaking the seal on the software to
getting boards in house.
 Ease of setup
 Tech support
 Library creation time
 Schematic capture
 Schem -> board time
 Design time
 Post process time
 No of calls from PCB Manufacturer

Add or subtract extra points for:
 No of aspirin taken
 Cuss words used
 User enjoyment
 How the Phone/Pager works when assembled.

The benchmark described above should be preformed using
experienced designers who are using the previous release of
the software under test. Don't use "factory" ringers who have
loaded and debugged the software under test several times
before and know where it is going to have problems.
