This test fixture design checklist covers the design elements
that need to be considered when we build a custom test fixture for you. This tool helps the test engineer to
organize their thoughts about what capabilities the test fixture must
have. It is then easy develop to a
Test Fixture Statement of Work which Test Head Engineering can use to quote
your custom test fixture. |
