Test Solutions & Device Programming

Production-ready verification, built into the manufacturing lifecycle

Test Solutions at Entech are designed to verify product performance, protect quality and support scalable manufacturing.

Testing is treated as a core part of the product lifecycle — from early DFM through NPI and into volume production — not as a final inspection step. This ensures test coverage, programming flows and throughput are optimised before scale.

Over several decades, Entech has developed deep in-house test engineering expertise through the deployment and lifecycle management of hundreds of production test systems and thousands of customer test fixtures. This experience allows us to define practical, production-ready test strategies that balance coverage, throughput and cost.

Where required, device programming and configuration are fully integrated into the test flow. Programming steps are defined, controlled and verified as part of the overall test strategy to ensure devices are correctly configured before release.

We provide:

  • Functional testing at PCBA, sub-assembly and system level
  • In-Circuit Test (ICT) and boundary scan
  • System-level verification
  • Burn-in and stress testing
  • Device programming and configuration
  • Test fixture specification, validation and lifecycle management

Where custom fixtures are required, Entech works with long-standing specialist partners — while retaining full responsibility for test requirements, integration and production performance.

How Entech approaches test solutions

At Entech, test is designed to support manufacturability, yield and long-term product stability.

Test strategies are developed in parallel with:

  • DFM
  • NPI
  • Production planning
  • Supply chain decisions
This ensures test coverage, programming time and fixture design are aligned with unit cost targets, volume requirements and lifecycle expectations.

Why choose Entech for test solutions

Customers rely on Entech because we focus on production-ready test strategies, not just fault detection.

We deliver:

  • Decades of hands-on experience specifying and managing production test systems
  • Test and programming strategies integrated with DFM, NPI and production
  • Optimised test coverage and programming time to reduce unit cost
  • Stable, repeatable test setups that minimise false failures
  • Higher yields and lower rework through controlled test environments
Well-designed test and programming strategies routinely deliver substantial cost savings over the product lifecycle by shortening test time, reducing debug cycles and avoiding late-stage design or firmware changes.

Designed for critical and regulated products

In markets such as industrial systems, energy infrastructure and medical devices, disciplined testing and controlled device programming are essential.

  • Industrial products must operate reliably in harsh and variable environments
  • Energy and IECEx-related systems require robust verification of safety and performance
  • Medical devices demand controlled, repeatable testing aligned with regulatory expectations
Entech’s test solutions support all of these requirements, helping customers reduce field failures, support compliance and maintain consistent quality as volumes scale.

Quality, compliance and governance

Test solutions at Entech operate within our certified management systems and all test and programming activities are supported by:

  • Documented procedures
  • Formal change control
  • Traceability and data retention
  • IPC-aligned practices
This ensures test processes remain repeatable, auditable and production-safe across the full product lifecycle.

Design for Testability (DFT)

To support strong test outcomes, Entech can provide a structured DFT checklist during DFM or early NPI.

This ensures:

  • Adequate test access
  • Efficient programming flow
  • Appropriate coverage
  • Controlled test cost
Are built into the design before production begins.
