Miscellaneous Projects » Production Test Suite

The first version of the Production Test Suite environment has been published today. At the present time, the environment is focused in testing SPEC boards but there are plans to add tests for more boards in the near future.

Production Test Suite (as knows as PTS) is an environment to check the connectivity of the boards produced in a factory. This environment was originally designed to test the boards specifically designed for Open Hardware Repository but it can be adapted to test other boards.

This project started to cover the needs of CERN groups which want to be sure that the boards produced by external companies follow a minimum quality in matters of soldering, mounting and fabrication process of the PCB.

Production Test Suite has GPL license and it is compatible with open source tools (Linux kernel, Python). It has been developed by the section BE/CO/HT at CERN.
