From the viewpoint of a casual observer, it appears that less than 10% of the paper and panel presentations at ITC in the last 10 years have been related to board test. Of those, the majority have focused on boundary scan testing. Note that both IEEE 1149.1 and IEEE 1149.4 are standards for IC's. Board testing continues to be a significant challenge for producers of both high volume and high complexity PWA's. The impact of a poor board/system test strategy is felt even more by contract manufacturers. So why is it, then, the board and system test are not receiving more attention at ITC?
