One of the most frequent dilemmas facing companies today is the proper testing technique to use with their product. While this is often dictated by industry specifications based on the type of product and its intended use, even these specifications are often ambiguous or allow for different alternatives. This paper written by Dudley Boden (2011) presents the best uses of the most common high-speed testing techniques, as well as some of the limitations involved in making a decision as to which technique is best for each company’s application.
