For teams rebuilding validation tests for production.
When a device moves from lab to line, the test work often moves with it in name only: validation programs are built for flexibility and accuracy, production needs speed and reliability at volume, and so manufacturing starts over. Semiconductor teams are looking to shift right instead, reusing validation work in production so tests built in one phase keep paying in the next. Soliton, with 20+ years in semiconductor validation, builds the test assets that survive that handoff: drivers, protocol communication libraries, and test methods designed from the start for both worlds.
What is Shift Right Testing?
Shift-right testing is a methodology that focuses on reusing validation scripts in production or manufacturing. By leveraging the same validation scripts used in the development phase, teams can ensure that the product meets quality standards and is ready for deployment. This approach not only improves efficiency but also enhances product reliability by validating the same tests in production.
How Soliton enables Shift Right?
01
Test Assets Built for Reuse
Drivers, protocol communication libraries, and test methods developed with production reuse as a design goal from day one, not retrofitted when manufacturing asks for them.
02
One Program, Two Sets of Priorities
Validation needs modularity and accuracy; manufacturing needs speed and reliability at volume. Test programs designed for both from the start are what make reuse possible, instead of a lab-tuned program the production floor has to rewrite.
03
Expertise on Both Sides of the Handoff
Reuse fails when the builders know only one world. Soliton has developed test frameworks for validation labs and production environments, so what each side demands is designed in, not discovered at handoff.
What shift right changes
The effort spent building validation tests stops expiring at the end of validation. Teams that carried standardized test components from validation through applications and into production ended the rewrite-per-phase cycle, and found the shared components improved collaboration between teams that previously duplicated each other's work.
How can Soliton help with Shift Right Testing?
Soliton develops the test assets that survive the move to production: drivers, protocol communication libraries, and test methods designed for reuse from the start. That design has to serve two teams who want different things:
- Validation teams need modular programs that survive hardware swaps between benches, and they put accuracy ahead of speed, because their job is challenging the design and trying to break the device.
- Manufacturing teams need programs that are fast and reliable rather than hardware-agnostic, because their job is producing at volume and confirming every unit works.
We build test programs with both sets of priorities designed in, so the tests your validation team builds are the tests your production line runs.
