Design for Testability (DFT) Consultation & Implementation
Improve test coverage, reduce production issues, and accelerate time-to-market through early-stage DFT engineering
Significant improvement in test coverage after DFT review
Reduction in re-spin costs by identifying test-related issues pre-production
Cycle time reduction through smarter probe access design
Trusted by: Automotive Tier-1 suppliers, medical OEMs, and power electronics manufacturers
Arxtron’s Design for Testability (DFT) service focuses on optimizing your electronic product design to ensure efficient, accurate, and scalable testing. By collaborating early in the product development cycle, we help engineers embed the right test hooks, access points, and diagnostic capabilities directly into the design, greatly reducing the risk of costly design re-spins and test bottlenecks later.
This service is ideal for OEMs, product developers, and contract manufacturers across the automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer electronics sectors who want to de-risk production and achieve higher first-pass yields.
