Testing Methods

There are four (4) basic testing methods done in manufacturing industries and repair
shops of computer electronic components. Each method can be done in various procedures
depending on the specific task and tools used. These are:

1. Continuity Test – the act of testing to validate if two points or terminals are connected
electrically to assure a continuous flow of signal or electrical current. When a capacitor does
not work, it could be busted and broken.

This test is usually done with the use of a multitester. Each probe of the tester is
positioned on each terminal of the capacitor to detect a response. If there is no response, then
it is confirmed that the capacitor is dead. Refer to the picture below:

2. Voltage or Current Test – a method used to detect losses or increase in voltage. If a
power supply is expected to give a 12 volts output, it should give the right amount of voltage.
Higher or lower than specified is considered defective. This test is usually done with the use
of a multitester, or a power supply tester.

3. Performance Test – this is done to validate if the electronic component performs as


specified by the manufacturer. For example, if a processor is intended to run with a hyper
threading capabilities, then it should work as expected.

This test is usually done with the use of software and utilities. An example of this is the
software called “Performance Test”. You can run this software directly from a USB storage.
This software is capable of testing various hardware performances. Just select the desired
test on the menu on the left, then click run to start the test. The tool looks like this:

4. Diagnostic Test – This is done to detect faults and problems. For example, if a computer
keeps on beeping at startup, then there should be a fault or problem with the peripheral
components or the motherboard itself. This test is usually done with the use of a Diagnostic
Cards or PC analyzer.

Overall, if the component is functioning well and performing as specified by the


manufacturer, then it is considered a quality product or serviceable product.
Evaluate the Testing Process

Evaluating the test process is important because it will determine the success of similar
future tests. It is done to determine the quality of the test procedures. It also determines the
performance of the test personnel and his technical needs.

To evaluate the test process, you must be able to answer the following questions:

What did you do?


Your methods and procedure should simply match with the job order.

Why did you do it?


Your methods and tools must align with the standardized procedures or
manufacturers’ instructions.

What did you find?
The testing process must produce the desired result as planned.

What did you communicate?


Always make a record and report your findings to responsible personnel or to the
clients.

What was the overall status of the test itself?


Always remember, the goal of the test is to comply with the job order or satisfy the
clients’ requirements.

Below is an example of a test evaluation sheet. The evaluation sheet looks like this.

Let Us Try

Activity 1: TRUE or FALSE


Directions: Read the statements carefully. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and
FALSE if it is wrong in the space provided before the number.

1. Some components can be tested using various methods and tools.


2. Electronic component production requires testing for quality assurance.
3. You can use any tools for a specific testing method.
4. Testing plan is important to perform the job smoothly.
5. Checking and maintaining the testing tools follows a standard procedure.

Let Us Do

Activity 2. Essay
Directions: Read and answer the questions briefly. Write your answers on a separate sheet.
1. Why do we need to test electronic components?
2. When do we conduct the test?

Let Us Apply

Activity 3. Test Evaluation.


Directions: Assume that the job order was completed by a technician named Mr. Technicio
Apprentice. Your task is to act as the supervisor of a repair shop. Make an
evaluation sheet for Mr. Apprentice. Refer to the example of a test evaluation
form. Write your answers on a separate sheet. Do it manually with a pen and a
ruler.
