Modelling and Optimizing Motherboard Functional Testing in Laptop Manufacturing

Functional testing is key to fulfill quality control in laptop manufacturing and is of great economic value. However, due to the unavailability of practical data, mathematical model and systematic perspective, it has barely been touched from the academic community to date. For the first time, this work provides technical understanding of the key principles of functional testing, mathematically models the general framework, elucidates existing testing strategy under the proposed framework and model, and finally proposes a specified optimization strategy which outperforms existing strategies. This work lays the model foundation for the further optimization of functional testing, and can be regarded as a good example of how a systematic approach can solve practical industrial challenges.
