Technetters, good morning, you may have seen my recent post on the importance of good measurements.  I need a measuring technique.  

Our sister PC (I work in assembly) fab shop is introducing a new process.  I want to make sure the boards it gives us, and our own processing, produce good solder joints - surface mount, in particular.  Any ideas or experience on quantifying solderability or a good solder joint?  Microresistance, shear or pull strength, something to be seen in a cross-section?  Any ideas or comments would be gratefully received.
