Design for Test

Ensuring a product can be efficiently tested is a critical aspect of reliable and scalable hardware development.

At Designee, our Design for Testability (DFT) services cover everything from In-Circuit Testing (ICT) and JTAG/boundary scan, on-board memory flashing and functional testing at both PCB and system levels. This end-to-end approach provides comprehensive test coverage throughout the entire manufacturing process

We carefully balance between test strategies to maximize coverage without overburdening the hardware design, ensuring practical and effective implementation. By increasing fault coverage and yield, we help reduce manufacturing costs, accelerate time-to-market, and improve overall product quality and reliability.

Our Approach

ICT

In-Circuit Testing – Planning test point access and bed-of-nails compatibility to ensure thorough electrical testing during manufacturing

JTAG & Boundary Scan

Enabling automated diagnostics and board-level testability for complex digital systems

Flashing

Incorporating on-board programming interfaces for efficient firmware flashing and device configuration

Test Coverage Analysis

Using tools to evaluate and improve test coverage, helping maximize yield and minimize escapes

ATE

Programmed with a set of test functions and sequences that simulate real-world operating conditions, ATE is essential for high-volume production, enabling fast, repeatable, and accurate testing across every unit.

Key Benefits

Our solutions are engineered to deliver robustness, scalability, and cost-efficiency, fully tailored to meet the specific needs of each project. From high-level hardware architecture to the finest circuit detail, every design is carefully optimized for performance, reliability, and manufacturability. By balancing technical excellence with production feasibility, we ensure designs are not only ready for production but also fully compliant with industry standards. Our expertise across multiple domains allows us to anticipate challenges early and deliver solutions that stand up to real-world conditions. For clients who require it, we also offer full qualification services to validate the design against environmental, regulatory, and application-specific requirements.
