The results identified data correlation and software integration as the most pressing challenges faced by design and test engineers. In fact, 91% of survey respondents stated that they spend up to 6 months correlating simulation data to test results, a critical step to ensure performance and reliability. This work significantly slows time-to-market for electronic products.
Test Equipment Report Highlights Connection Between Quality and Bottom Line
The company also recently released the Keysight Test Equipment Report which reveals the increasing challenges to achieving electronic hardware manufacturing quality and the impact of poor testing practices on the bottom line of businesses.
The Keysight Test Equipment Report is based on a survey conducted by Dimensional Research consisting of 306 participants that use test equipment for ensuring electronic device quality and testing. The survey sought to understand the current challenges for achieving electronic hardware manufacturing quality.
According to the survey, 64% of respondents confirmed that ensuring product quality is growing more difficult due to the increased complexity of electronics, and the corresponding complexities of testing required to measure quality. Respondents reported that quality challenges originate from growing customer demands and tighter tolerances to increasing manufacturing complexity and pace.
