What is TestOps?
Semiconductor designs are growing more complex, but validation timelines aren't growing with them. Traditional post-silicon validation is manual, fragmented, and tribal, and it can't keep pace. TestOps applies DevOps principles to validation: automated workflows, shared visibility, and continuous feedback. Teams validate silicon faster and more thoroughly, with shorter time-to-market and higher product quality.
TestOps spans two layers. The first covers definition, planning, analysis, and reporting. It lives on cloud or on-prem, independent of the test systems. The second covers test program development, execution, and data collection. It runs on the test systems themselves, with the device under test and hardware.
Your Priorities as a Semiconductor Validation Lab Owner
If you own a semiconductor validation lab or manage a semiconductor product, you are continuously trying to:
01
Increase productivity of engineers
02
Get more from the lab infrastructure (instrument, lab space, etc.)
03
Increase collaboration between cross functional teams
04
Deliver audit-ready validation evidence
What TestOps Offers
Software, services, and frameworks across the semiconductor validation lifecycle, built on TestOps.
01
Validation Automation Framework
A reusable framework that abstracts instruments, communication protocols, and test infrastructure into modular components. Engineers spend less time on hardware integration and more on validation, with IP carried across programs and sites.
02
Test Specification and Data Management
Standardized management of test specifications, results, and approvals across the validation lifecycle. Built on TestOps for data integrity, traceability, and compliance, so validation outputs hold up to internal review and external audit.
03
Lab Asset and Utilization Management
Real-time visibility and control across lab assets, including instruments, power, and bench space. Utilization is measured, idle capacity surfaces, and resource planning shifts from reactive to data-driven.
04
Shift Left Validation
Bring validation forward into design by reusing verification IP from pre-silicon work. Issues surface where they're cheapest to fix, and the team starts post-silicon with proven test infrastructure already in place.
05
Shift Right Validation/ Characterization to Production
The same scripts and frameworks that proved the design carry through to characterization and volume production. Production and field data flow back into validation, so each cycle learns from the last.
06
Remote Customer Evaluation
Intuitive evaluation interfaces that let your customers validate your product in your lab setup, remotely. So customers see the work directly, and build confidence in your validation.
