Pintail is happy to introduce a new product that makes test time optimization so easy a cave man could do it! And for qualified users, it may be downloaded for Free.
TestVision/6® is a completely new product that enables users to analyze historical test data logs to quickly determine the best test time optimization plan for deployment using Pintail's on-line SwifTest™ software. It optimizes both parametric and functional test times and includes new algorithms that produce significantly larger test time savings compared to previous versions.
SwifTest-TTO is the world's leading adaptive test solution for reducing test time on complex semiconductors. Since its introduction in 2004, over a billion units have been shipped using the software, saving their companies millions of dollars each year in cost of test.
TestVision/6 also includes a Blazing Fast Data Browser described below - a must-have utility for every test and product engineer.
A key benefit of Adaptive Test is that engineers need not be limited to the worst case conditions. Pintail's SwifTest-TTO dynamically applies statistical sampling in proportion to the quality levels indicated during real-time production. More variability will result in less test time savings. But as your yield improves, significant test time can be saved - sometimes as much as 50% without any degradation in outgoing quality.
Pintail's customers have been requesting an easy to use tool to perform these TTR analyses themselves. Now, within minutes, a user can load multiple data files (STDF, TEDS, etc.) and explore the entire range of TTR for a particular device.
For the remainder of 2009, Pintail is offering this powerful tool to new and existing customers and our partners for No Charge. All you need to do is send me a request and we will send you instructions for downloading. TestVision/6 is a desktop tool where each user has their own copy. There is an online license agreement when you start the software.
So let me know if you'd like a copy complete with its comprehensive user guide by
simply replying to this email. Please forward this to other engineers in your organization that might like their own copy.
Test Time Reduction Made Easy - 
Even if you are not interested in test time reduction, TestVision/6 includes a powerful utility for rapidly viewing the behaviour of tests over the course of a lot.
