The paper discusses the development of a cost-effective, universal PCB test platform aimed to minimise test time and expand test coverage. The platform provides the efficient and effective testing of PCBs at the functional level. In contrast to existing functional testing equipment designed for one particular PCB only, the proposed platform is universal and can be easily reconfigured and reprogrammed to test different PCBs. A prototype of the test platform was developed and built using National Instrument hardware and software.
