Test Economics and Design for Testability for Electronic Circuits and Systems

Providing an examination of the economics of design and test of electronics circuits and systems, this book describes the overall economic effects of design and test decisions facing electronic designers, engineering managers and test engineers at device, board, system and field test stages, and includes issues such as time-to-market and product liability. It also discusses the issues and parameters that can cause variations in test-related costs, and covers cost model creation, and the use/usability of cost models for making design and test decisions.
