What do testedge’s ICT board testing, boundary-scan testing, functional testing, and test adapters have in common? They provide highly reliable support for our customers’ modern systems and production processes.
Testing, inspection, and measurement – the testedge way
The best response to rising demands in electronics manufacturing is custom test applications, test stands, and adapters that meet the highest quality standards and are based on comprehensive technical and industry expertise. With testedge, you’re in safe hands – as your reliable partner in the development of test technology, we’ve designed our service portfolio to be versatile and flexible. For us, performance also means passion: Without our dedicated project teams, who pay meticulous attention to detail, there would be no customized solutions for your specific requirements. We look forward to your test scenario!

ICT board testing with modern test systems
Sophisticated in-circuit and functional test applications that we develop on our systems.
With our Teradyne TestStation LH and SPEA 3030 test systems, we utilize the latest generation of board testers. These test systems enable us to meet the increasing demands of electronics manufacturing, providing us with high-performance systems featuring innovative hardware and software architecture.
We develop in-circuit and functional test applications on our systems. In the functional tests, we integrate external measurement and stimulus devices as well as various interfaces (e.g., CAN / LIN) using different high-level languages (e.g., C++, VB.NET, C#, LabVIEW).
Through effective programming, we achieve minimal cycle times for our customers’ manufacturing processes.
Another requirement is the programming electronic assemblies. To do this, we use the OBP functionality of the test system or integrate additional programming devices into the test adapter. Furthermore, we view the integration of boundary scan into test systems as a further enhancement to today’s testing methods.
Boundary scan for high-complexity applications
Test concepts and applications, even when access to the assembly is limited.
Boundary scan is being used more and more frequently in areas of electronics where access to the assembly is limited. This is especially true where maximizing test coverage using conventional test methods is no longer cost-effective. Highly complex components provide the ideal application for boundary scan.
High-performance software and hardware components are particularly important in the field of on-board programming. GÖPEL’s VarioCore®, VarioTap®, and JEDOS technologies provide users with a wide range of options.
In addition to developing comprehensive test concepts, we also offer the implementation of applications on customer-specific stand-alone or system solutions. These include GÖPEL-JULIET (JTAG Unlimited Tester) test systems, SPEA 3030 test systems, and Teradyne LH.
Hardware and software for functional testing
Custom solutions for demanding requirements, such as those in the automotive and aviation sectors.
When it comes to testing functional units, we work closely with our customers to develop hardware and software concepts for reliable functional testing.
We use software development tools and environments such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, TestStand, and TECAP for these custom solutions. In the hardware sector, we rely on renowned manufacturers such as Rohde & Schwarz, National Instruments, and others.
To meet the most demanding requirements, we focus on the reproducibility of individual measurement results (system measurement stability), minimal downtime, and clear logging of results.
Our functional tests can be implemented as a stand-alone device—a specialized solution for small test systems – or as an all-in-one solution. In addition, they can also be designed as an integrated solution for an automated production line.
Construction of test adapters based on various adapter kits
If required, we also integrate additional electronics and CNC machining.
Last but not least: In addition to the application software, we also manufacture the necessary test adapters – using adapter housings from various manufacturers to develop the best possible adapter for the application. Our staff also handles the wiring and integration of any required additional electronics. We even perform the mechanical machining on our own CNC systems. This allows us to flexibly implement designs and adaptations to meet specific requirements.
We offer the following adapter solutions: in-circuit and functional test adapters, vacuum contacting, mechanical contacting, manual or inline test adapters, as well as custom solutions.
testedge’s specialized expertise in adapter manufacturing stems from its merger with KTT Testengineering. Since 1993, KTT has made a name for itself in this specialized field and built up key competencies that have now been integrated into testedge’s service portfolio.
People make the difference – training tailored to your needs
We’re happy to share our extensive know-how with you and provide practical application examples across testedge’s four service areas. After all, the complexity of today’s test systems and their associated development environments requires you and your staff to have the appropriate system knowledge.
Why should you delve deeper into this – aren’t the test applications we create already ready to use? They are, but it can sometimes be advantageous if you’re able to make simple program adjustments yourself.
Of course, you’ll receive a training package tailored precisely to your needs and areas of application. Whether at our facilities or at your location, we look forward to a lively exchange of ideas.
