Avoid blind spots with AI

The first challenge is identifying which aspects of the prototype need testing. Just because a prototype functions correctly doesn't guarantee it's ready for mass manufacturing. Certain signals that appear stable in prototype testing might fall out of spec under the stresses of mass production. Identifying and correcting these discrepancies early is crucial. Resolving errors discovered at the mass manufacturing stage can be exceedingly costly..

Copilot understands the detailed interplay between all the components in your design and has expert-level knowledge of electronics fundamentals. It uses this expertise to identify which signals are most critical and which are likely to fail based on conventional EE concepts and the specifics of your design.

Generate Thorough Test Plans With AI

Now Copilot has helped you understand which signals to keep an eye on. But still, the question remains: how do I go about testing my signals? This is where a well-detailed test plan comes into play.

Some of the most important questions to address in a test plan include

  • Under what conditions should I perform the test?
  • What procedure should I follow during my test?
  • What results should I expect?

Copilot helps your team answer all of these questions by developing comprehensive and robust test plans for your design. Simply prompt Copilot with a question like

With a comprehensive test plan, your team can ensure that any design errors get caught early in the process and well before you go to production. This means your team can spend less time correcting errors and less money on unnecessary design revisions. Ultimately, that translates to higher quality products and faster time to market.

Interpret Test Results With AI

Once you’ve executed the test plan, you’ll need to interpret your results and solve any design issues that have been revealed. 

You can directly provide Copilot with the results from your test. For example, you can attach a screenshot of your oscilloscope’s capture to give it more context. Your prompt might then look something like this

Collaborative Debugging

Flux not only streamlines the testing and debugging process but also enhances the way test engineers and designers collaborate on projects. By integrating collaboration within the design tool, Flux ensures that all team members have real-time access to test data, design changes, and analytical insights. This seamless integration allows for immediate feedback loops and faster decision-making, which is crucial when addressing complex design challenges

With Flux, your team can swiftly move from identifying issues to implementing solutions, accelerating the development cycle and enhancing overall productivity.

Empowering Enterprises

Don’t let a clunky testing and debug workflow lead to product failures. Flux can help you streamline the process so that your team can bring high-quality products to market in less time and at a lower cost without sacrificing quality.
