Time-Series Test Data Analysis with TofuPilot

Learn how to capture, store, and analyze time-series measurement data from hardware tests using TofuPilot's multi-dimensional arrays.

Test Data & Analytics
Pareto Analysis for Test Failures

Learn how the 80/20 Pareto principle applies to test failures, how to write tests that produce actionable failure data, and how to use TofuPilot's Pareto chart.

Test Data & Analytics
How to Reduce Retesting Costs with TofuPilot

Learn why retesting wastes 10-30% of test capacity, how to fix root causes with better OpenHTF patterns, and how TofuPilot tracks retest rates.

Test Data & Analytics
What Is Process Capability (Cp and Cpk)

Understand Cp and Cpk formulas, what different Cpk values mean for your process, and how TofuPilot calculates them from your test data.

Test Data & Analytics
Track Rolled Throughput Yield

Learn how to measure Rolled Throughput Yield (RTY) across multi-step manufacturing processes and track it in TofuPilot's dashboard.

Test Data & Analytics
What Is Test Data Management

Learn what test data management is, why spreadsheets fail at scale, and how TofuPilot structures your electronics test data automatically.

Test Data & Analytics
The Hidden Cost of Retesting in Manufacturing

Learn how retesting inflates costs in manufacturing, identify root causes, and use TofuPilot's unit history to track and reduce retest rates.

Test Data & Analytics
How to Build KPI Dashboards with TofuPilot

Learn how to structure your OpenHTF tests so TofuPilot automatically generates manufacturing KPI dashboards with FPY, throughput, Cpk, and failure analysis.

Test Data & Analytics
Set Measurement Limits from Prod Data

Learn how to derive statistically sound measurement limits from production data using the 3-sigma method, detect distribution anomalies, and configure.

Test Data & Analytics
Calculate True First Pass Yield

Learn the FPY formula, how it differs from rework yield and rolled throughput yield, and how TofuPilot tracks it automatically.

Test Data & Analytics
Run-over-Run Test Comparison with TofuPilot

Learn how to compare hardware test runs side by side in TofuPilot to diagnose failures and track measurement changes across units.

Test Data & Analytics
