Design for Testability(DFT)

Build Boards That Are Easy to Test

Effective DFT reduces fixture cost, improves test coverage, and enables smoother scaling from NPI to mass production

 — particularly important for automotive and industrial-grade PCBs that require long-term reliability.

WE OFFER

A free DFT review to help optimize your design for functional testing and reduce overall production risk.PCB Guide & Case Study

Our DFT Recommendations Include:

  1. Add accessible test pads for critical nodes
  2. Reserve debugging/programming interfaces (JTAG, SWD, ISP, UART)
  3. Avoid mechanical obstructions that block fixture probes
  4. Allow current/voltage access for high-power circuits
  5. Align test flow early to avoid redesign delays
