I would say the advantages are. Testing to data that will definately not have been played about with by people down the line. Not having the hassle of messing about trying to netlist gerber data which is not what it was meant for. Avoiding netlisting the gerber incorrectly. However if you want to locate faults from the data after test you may find some netlist formats lacking in the necessary detail. You can BBT from pad information only. To verify faults you at least want trace data. Probably one of the most common formats is the IPC-356 but this doesnt contain trace data. BTW does anyone have any details on the net IPC-356-A? Hope this of some help to you.
