Datest Announces Siemens EDA Webinar on Data‑Driven PCB Test Planning

Datest, a provider of advanced test engineering and failure analysis services, will host an educational webinar on data‑driven printed circuit board (PCB) test planning. The session, presented by Will Webb, Technical Director at Siemens EDA, will cover strategies for aligning design constraints with manufacturing test choices, evaluating test coverage early in the design cycle, and leveraging boundary‑scan and historical quality data to prioritize testing.

Rob Boguski of Datest emphasized that “as PCB complexity continues to increase, effective manufacturing test planning must begin long before a board reaches the production floor,” highlighting the need for early collaboration between design and test engineering teams.

The webinar aims to help engineers address challenges posed by higher density, speed, and miniaturization in modern electronics, reducing redesign costs and production escapes.
