White Paper
Over the past two decades, the trend toward disaggregation of the semiconductor and electronics industries served as a major driver for the adoption of platform-based design. The demands of higher design complexity made vertical integration of the entire development and manufacturing process impractical. Hence, the rise of fabless semiconductor companies, chip foundries, and contract electronics manufacturing services businesses. With disaggregation came the ability to focus engineering resources on a company’s core competency and competitive market differentiation. Design platforms that deliver a complete solution for a particular problem or domain area help reinforce core competencies.
The same electronics industry trends apply to test. So, why are platform-based test approaches not more widely available and adopted like their design relatives? What is stopping test teams from benefitting by using the same type of platform approach as design teams? The answer is siloed workflows and homegrown test environments that inhibit easy data sharing.
