Abstract :
This paper proposes a manufacturing test cost model for systems as they go through a manufacturing test process. The cost model allows the company to calibrate the test process to the risks of the product, while taking into account other manufacturing and development processes. Without an accurate cost model, understanding the financial implications of test tradeoffs is impossible.
