A Survey on the CEM Life Cycle and their Test Sites Limitations & Constraints

Hardware electronic manufacturing companies of the world producing a range of hardware products as per the end user requirements related with the field of medicine, communications, instrumentation, automation, power electronics, power transmission, surveillance, IoT etc. However, before sending these products to the market for the commercial use; their quality, reliability and functional requirements are verified are validated through various tests. The tests are conducted by employing various test sites that are designed according to the types and functional requirements of the hardware electronic products. In this survey paper, a brief review of hardware electronic products and its manufacturing life cycle is presented. The paper also covers the survey of test sites and the automation techniques (using machine learning) of these electronic hardware products. Finally, it will be concluded mentioning certain prime limitations and constraints of these test sites.
