What Is a Continuous Test Stack

A continuous test stack connects test development, execution, data collection, and analytics into one integrated workflow. Learn what it includes and how.

Concepts & Methodology
Root Cause Analysis for Hardware Test Failures

Learn how to use TofuPilot's test data to trace hardware failures back to their root cause using measurement trends and run comparisons.

Concepts & Methodology
How to Manage NPI Testing with TofuPilot

Structure your test procedures across EVT, DVT, and PVT phases. Refine measurement limits using early data and track procedure versions as your product matures.

Scaling & Monitoring
Test Traceability for Aerospace (AS9100)

Map AS9100 quality management requirements to TofuPilot features for test records, serial tracking, measurement history, and audit-ready exports.

Compliance & Traceability
How to Build a Test Sequencer with TofuPilot

Learn how to build a test sequencer with OpenHTF using phase ordering, skip logic, PhaseGroups, multi-SKU sequences, and TofuPilot result logging.

Getting Started
What Is a Test Copilot

A test copilot is an AI assistant that helps engineers write tests, analyze failures, and optimize limits. Learn what it does and where the technology is.

Concepts & Methodology
The True Cost of Poor Quality in Electronics

Understand COPQ categories, the 1-10-100 rule for defect costs, and how proper test coverage with TofuPilot catches issues before they become expensive.

Test Data & Analytics
Run Parallel Tests on Multiple DUTs

Learn how to run independent OpenHTF test instances in parallel across multiple DUTs using Python multiprocessing, with per-DUT result logging to TofuPilot.

Test Station Setup
What Is Generative Test Design

Generative test design uses AI to create test plans, scripts, and measurement strategies from product specifications. Learn where it works today and where.

Concepts & Methodology
Handle Test Failures and Retries

Learn how to control OpenHTF phase failure behavior, implement retry logic, and ensure clean teardown in production tests with TofuPilot.

Getting Started
What Is Ongoing Reliability Testing (ORT)

Ongoing reliability testing (ORT) samples production units to catch reliability drift. Learn how ORT works and how to track it with TofuPilot.

Test Types & Methods
Track Battery Cycling Test Data

Learn how to log charge/discharge cycling data, track capacity fade, and monitor cell performance across production using TofuPilot.
