Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
detecting, by a processing resource of a measurement machine, at least one quality feature of a solder joint among a plurality of solder joints formed between a solder lead in an electronic component and an electronic board;
analyzing, by the processing resource, the at least one quality feature to measure a side joint length of the solder joint; and
determining, by the processing resource, whether to generate an alert signal indicative of a defect detected in the solder joint based on comparison of a measured side joint length of the solder joint with a pre-defined threshold side joint length, wherein the pre-defined threshold side joint length is determined based on raw material measurements of a foot length and a lead width of the solder lead.
