Hi Mirka
Recent experience tells me that you need to do as many of the
inspections as possible - visual and thermal stress microsections.
That is unless and until you have correlation and confidence in
inspections performed by the board house.  After you have that
level of confidence you might be able to lessen the number and
frequency of tests, but not until then.  You will come across the
full spectrum in board houses as to the amount of testing done
prior to shipping the boards as compliant.  It is so much better
to find problems prior to attaching all those components.
