The article discusses the challenges faced by design engineers and test engineers in the production testing process. It highlights the need for test program validation that goes beyond EDA tools and emphasizes the importance of early pattern validation. TestInsights Virtual Tester (VT) is introduced as a solution that enables early test program validation and closes the loop between design and test. VT creates an ATE-aware test bench that accurately predicts production test results before silicon is available. By using VT, engineers can avoid blamestorming and reduce time-to-market. The article provides information on how to set up VT and the benefits it offers. Overall, the article has a growth-positive impact on TestInsight.

TestInsight, a company specializing in creating efficient test programs, has developed an ATE-aware test bench to address the open-loop problem in product development. Their software solution, TDL™, allows for rapid test development and eliminates the need for code compilation. TestInsights Virtual Tester™ (VT) enables pre-silicon test program validation, reducing debug time. The companys resolution to the open-loop problem improves collaboration and communication between design and test phases. TestInsight has been approached by a major Fabless IC vendor to automate their pattern conversion and verification process, resulting in shorter time to market. TestInsight is also a select partner of Teradyne and Advantest, giving them opportunities to expand their market reach. The company is headquartered in Ramat Gan, Israel and is led by Meir Gellis.

Teradyne and Test Insight have partnered to release new pattern conversion solutions for UltraFLEX, which will reduce design to test cycle times and expedite Silicon debug and characterization. The solutions include the ability to compile hundreds of patterns in parallel using Linux-based Load Share Facilities (LSF) and the ability to produce binary IG-XL pattern files directly from electronic design automation (EDA) output formats. The partnership will help improve software solutions and meet the needs of advanced users in semiconductor test. The new products have been tested and validated by several large customers and are now available for all users.
