2011 Automated Test Outlook |
A comprehensive view of key technologies and methodologies impacting the test and measurement industry
The 2011 Automated Test Outlook is a comprehensive view of key technologies and methodologies impacting the test and measurement industry. It has been found that one of the biggest challenges for test engineers and managers is staying current on technology trends.
The authors have a broad knowledge of technology trends and interaction with companies across many sectors, which gives them a unique vantage point on the test and measurement market. This view has enabled them to be a strategic partner with many of key players in identifying trends and industry best practices.
For 2011, the outlook has been structured into four categories. In each of these categories, major trends are highlighted that the authors believe will significantly influence automated test in the coming one to three years. The 2011 Automated Test Outlook is available to download for free online. Categories featured in the Outlook are: - Heterogeneous Computing: Future test systems will require different types of processing nodes to address increasing demands from analysis and processing needs.
- Software and I/O: I/O to the Pin: Sharing FPGA IP between design and test will dramatically shorten design verification / validation and improve production test time and fault coverage.
