What is FPY – First Pass Yield?

The FPY (First Pass Yield), or First Pass Yield, is a fundamental indicator of the efficiency and quality of a test or production process. It measures the percentage of units that pass the test on the first attempt, without the need for rework, repetition, or correction. Why is FPY important?

What is Test Coverage?

Test coverage is the degree to which a product, system, or process is verified by tests to ensure that all relevant requirements, functions, and components have been validated. In the industrial context, especially in the production and validation of hardware, software, or embedded systems, test coverage means measuring how much

What is Pareto and how to identify the Top Failures?

The Pareto chart is a statistical tool used to identify and prioritize the main causes of failures in a process. It is based on the Pareto Principle (80/20), which states that about 80% of problems come from 20% of the causes. When applied to test engineering and production, the Pareto

What Is a Test Bench (or Tester) in Industrial Production?

A test bench, also known as a tester, is a specialized system designed to verify the functionality, performance, and quality of products during the manufacturing process. It ensures that each unit meets predefined specifications before reaching the customer. In industrial environments, test benches are crucial for: Collecting data for process
