Patent ID: 7512914

Claim:
A method of improving an electronic component testability rate, comprising the steps of: designing a circuit; providing data of electronic components of the circuit; extracting the test data of electronic components from a test database, the test database storing the data of electronic component test specifications, test programs, and test signal connection data; providing a circuit board and making a test position table, wherein the circuit board is disposed with a plurality of electronic components and a plurality of test points in accord with the circuit design and the test position table is made in accord with the electronic component test points; providing an electronic component test fixture and a test program, wherein the test position table is employed to make the electronic component test fixture and to select test points of the test program for testing the circuit board; determining whether the test program is appropriate and, if it is inappropriate, performing a debugging process and re-determining whether the test program is appropriate; and obtaining a test report when the test program is appropriate.
