Advantages of Commercial Test Software Solutions |
|
Startups like Pintail need to have a lot of knowledge and vision to become successful. But it takes years for third party vendors to become as smart as their best customers. It is inevitable that they will however, just like the ATE & EDA vendors did decades earlier.
Historically, chip manufacturers have had to rely upon internal solutions for their test software. These may have been developed by partially funded individual engineers or by labored requests to your IT departments.
Disadvantages of internal solutions include:
n Minimal user features due to under funded software budgets,
n Poor support because IT is a shared resource and not dedicated to keeping test at the forefront of their priorities, and
n Lack of technological leadership and innovation as the knowledge base is restricted to your own enterprise.
Over time, as startups like Pintail extend their leadership in topics like Adaptive Test, we become smarter as a result of the collaboration with many industry leaders. Of course, the knowledge gained must be able to be shared with others.
Avago's willingness to share their expertise in quality and reliability with the industry via Pintail's commercial offerings is an essential ingredient for our test industry to progress.
Congratulations to Avago for taking this important step!
I recommend that you forward this message to your most senior vice presidents, managers and to your IT department - they need to know that new options are available for maintaining and extending the competitiveness of your company. |

What is a Real-time Dashboard? |
|
Have you ever wished that you could see test results from different brands of ATE systems and from different test floors including your various subcons with a common view? What if you could access all of this data over the web with any browser and with only a few points & clicks? And the coolest thing would be to get all of this data in real-time.
Think this is impossible?
Think again!
