Keysight Survey Reveals Data Sharing Enabled by an Integrated Product Development Solution Significantly Improves Time-ToMarket Across the Entire Product Development Workflow

 

In December 2018, Keysight Technologies commissioned Dimensional Research to conduct a survey measuring time-to-market barriers for design and test engineers across the globe. This report focuses on the challenges identified by survey respondents across the entire product development workflow. The results showed that while design and test engineers face many challenges, the most pressing are in the areas of data correlation and software integration. These findings underscore the need for improved data sharing across the workflow with an integrated product development solution.

 

Executive Summary

This research finds there is tremendous opportunity to reduce the time-to-market across each phase of the electronic device product development lifecycle. Today, most challenges slowing the lifecycle can be distilled down to data movement, tool integration, and asset reuse. Nearly every company is trying to leverage and compare design simulation data to test results. This research shows that information sharing across the workflow is one of their biggest challenges. In fact, 9 out of 10 companies revealed that correlating test result data takes months.
