Development engineers know that testing hardware at the proto-type or pre-production stage validates designs before shipment.

By using diagnostics throughout the development of components and peripherals, hardware can be checked, tested and validated in a variety of working conditions to reduce bugs and compatibility problems before production begins.

Wherever hardware is assembled, handled or shipped, faults will be introduced - electromagnetic failure, loose connections, dropped parts, missing components, etc. Checking PCs with diagnostics before shipping to manufacturing or installation points will confirm hardware reliability, effectively reducing 'wrongful returns' or 'no problem found'.

Diagnostics provide an independent test bed for new platforms, check pointing pre-release product by identifying faults and design flaws, ensuring reliable hardware.

With industry measures continually working towards a wealth of common approaches such as usability, workmanship, support, outsourcing, warranty and recycling procedures, your distribution outlets will be seeking products that work in all these demanding conditions.

Time is an issue for all PC Life Cycle points. Using enumerated, modular testing techniques, time can be saved loading diagnostic modules designed solely for target components such as CD-ROM drives or modems, or several components at one time. Enumeration keenly applies each diagnostic module by checking that the hardware is installed or available first. This allows easy use of diagnostics while ensuring that questionable or failing hardware is tested first and foremost.

Simply put, if the products you're producing aren't tested in the situation they'll be sold to, pre-production may never make it to the manufacturers' production lines.

Eurosoft solutions can help.

Costs simply increase if problems aren't identified. Diagnostics included in your development process improve your return on investment (ROI) by identifying problems before they become costly mistakes.

Using QA+FE ServiceCenter Software or Pc-Check Diagnostic Software secures your products' future before they're released and shipped out the door.

Eurosoft's popular computer hardware diagnostic and production solutions cover the full spectrum of the PC Life Cycle. From key stage hardware developments, to computer manufacturing, during customer support and on to the maintenance of PC products, Eurosoft's solutions are helping users to reduce downtime, technical support costs, unnecessary repair and product returns.
