Define Requirements and Scope Analyze the DUT (Device Under Test): Study product specifications, interfaces, and functional requirements. Identify Measurements: List all parameters, signals, and performance metrics that need testing, along with the required measurement accuracy and tolerance. Avoid over-designing accuracy relative to the product itself. Set Constraints & Budget: Establish the financial budget, development timeline, and operational footprint (e.g., rack-mount vs. benchtop).
Design the Test Strategy and Architecture Determine Test Levels: Decide how testing breaks down into unit, integration, and system-level validation. Select Instrumentation: Choose analog and digital instruments (such as DMMs, oscilloscopes, or RF analyzers) based on bandwidth, resolution, and bus architectures like PXI, USB, or Ethernet. Plan Switching and Fixturing: Design mechanical interfaces, mass interconnect systems, or custom test fixtures to route signals safely between the DUT and your instruments.
Plan Hardware and Software Abstraction Software Abstraction Layers: Use hardware and measurement abstraction layers so device-specific driver code is decoupled from your main test sequences.
Performance Measurement & Validation Collect quantified test data, log failure modes, and build documentation packages
Schematic & Fixture Design Draft test systems or harness layouts using tools like Visio or Excel. Ability to read, interpret, and trace the technical blueprints of a printed circuit board (PCB)
