Job Description
Functional test (FCT) is used as a final manufacturing step. It provides a pass/fail determination on finished PCBs before they are shipped.
An FCT's purpose in manufacturing is to validate that product hardware is free of defects that could, otherwise, adversely affect the product's correct functioning in a system application.
In short, FCT verifies a PCB's functionality and its behavior. It is important to emphasize that the requirements of a functional test, its development, and procedures vary widely from PCB to PCB and system to system.
Functional testers typically interface to the PCB under test via its edge connector or a test-probe point. This testing simulates the final electrical environment in which the PCB will be used.
