•Less engineering resources available
• More focus on fault/test
coverage, less on
Custom software and internal test tool development
•Like transition to outside EDA tools 25 years ago
•Partnering with Vendor for specific requirements
Will be cheaper than staffing for custom solutions
•DFT patents will be obstacles preventing ‘safe’ in-house
Test solution development.
• Liability will
increase, especially when test solution
is part of Product architecture
