How TestOps Speeds Electronic Product Design and Test

백서

Every product development team strives to get from concept to shipment as quickly and efficiently as possible. This goal places pressure on development teams to improve their simulation tools, cut design cycle times, and reduce test times. Popularized by software developers, Agile design techniques can also help hardware developers accomplish these goals.

The spiral model below (Figure 1) reflects the fact that most new product developments borrow from existing product designs and use software modules from multiple sources. While Figure 1 only shows one prototype phase, multiple iterative prototype phases are more typical and consume more time.
