Test coverage rate improvement system for pins of tested circuit board and method thereof
A test coverage rate improvement system for pins of tested circuit board and a method thereof are disclosed. In the system, partial pins of a circuit board connector in a tested circuit board are not electrically connected to the boundary scan chip, test pins of the test pin board are pressed with the partial pins by a fixture of a boundary scan interconnect testing workstation to electrically connect the test pins to the partial pins. A test access port controller receives a detection signal for detecting the partial pins, which are not electrically connected to the boundary scan chip, of the circuit board connector through the test pin board from the test adapter card, and determines whether conduction is formed based on the detection signal, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving a test coverage rate for the pins of the tested circuit board.
