Test development sites develop solutions for several test processes including, but not limited to :

• In-Circuit test (ICT) and Manufacturing Defect Analyzer (MDA)

• Boundary Scan/ JTAG

• Board-level functional test

• ESS/HASS

• System test

The process of developing test solutions includes, but is not limited to:

• Test development (OrCAD, AutoCAD, FabMaster and other software development tools listed above)

• Project tracking (action items, journals, time entry, milestones, and deliverables checklists)

• Test solution design guidelines (global fixture specification, schematic design requirements)

• Design reviews (Initial and post-installation)

• Documentation package templates (test specification, BOM’s, tester validation, etc…)

Development of test solution quotes:

• Test solution quotes typically include, but are not limited to:

• Price and schedule commitment

• Hardware, Software and Documentation package description

• Specification of tester validation criteria and required customer deliverables.

• The process of developing test solution quotes includes, but is not limited to:

• Use of the automated quote system and quote tools.

• Completion of quotes on-schedule

Jabil policies:
