🚀 Exciting to see our collaboration with @Nominal_io in action! They just published how FixturFab's bed-of-nails fixtures Nominal Connect transform PCB testing from hours to minutes: - 80% reduction in test development time - 30-second test cycles vs. manual probing - Consistent scaling from prototype to production - Real-time data streaming to cloud analytics "FixturFab brings velocity to PCB validation - in an industry where time-to-test is becoming the new time-to-market." This perfectly demonstrates our vision of hardware testing at the speed of software 🔧⚡ Read the full case study: nominalinc.substack.com/p/fi… #hardwaretesting #testautomation #pcbtesting

Nominal's mission is to build the continuous, connected test stack – from the pogo pin on a PCB to our cloud database. That's why we can't build software in a vacuum. That's why we're working with hardware providers like @FixturFab. Time-to-test defines time-to-market. FixturFab and Nominal are building the tools to help engineers accelerate. FixturFab: Hardware fixtures, turnkey systems, calibration & automation software Nominal Connect: Custom test applications and GUIs for repeatable workflows. The result: first power-on in hours, not weeks. In Nominal's hardware lab, we built a custom test application to help FixturFab users accelerate. First-class test software – already integrated with the hardware you use. That’s how you accelerate test. Read more here: nominalinc.substack.com/p/fi…

Probing pins and connectors from the side is possible, but typically requires manual work to prototype and adjust the design. Once it works, it’s immensely satisfying. 🙌

Lastly, Functional Testing (FCT). FCT also uses a Bed-of-Nails fixture; however, it validates that the DUT operates as expected instead of testing the electrical connection between various nets. 🔌 #FunctionalTesting
