Test Planning Using AC’s Proven Processes
Data-driven product development starts with early test planning to determine parameters for verification and validation. We engage early or at any stage of your development journey to deliver dedicated testing services.
Review product, discuss business goals, and align objectives. Specification, identification, and test plan creation. Review test plan with client to confirm goals and target outcomes. Creation of custom hardware and tests with location agnostic options. Run custom, off-the-shelf, or 3rd party engineered hardware tests. Iterative analysis resulting in a final report with recommendations.
Supercharge Your Hardware Testing with Integrated Engineering Teams
Test Plans Designed with a Deep Understanding of Your Product
Working from a strong foundation in product development engineering, we identify the right test engineering plan by fully understanding your product and its overarching functionality through:
> Conversations and Site Visits
> Review of Your Product and its Development Stage
> Product and Industry Benchmarking
> Strict Specifications and/or Industry Standards for Product Ruggedization
> Intended Use Environment and Impacts on Design
> Levels of Acceptable Risks
> Cost Objectives and Constraints
Leverage Comparison Research & Technical Analysis
After a comprehensive technical examination of your product, we validate it by analyzing similar products using <insert better adjective> resources:
Backed by over 20 years of development experience, our product validation process includes:
> Subsystem Design Review
> Benchmarking
> White Papers
> Research Papers
> Teardowns
> Industry Standards and Regulations
Continuous Alignment with Changing Designs
Working with you through a collaborative and iterative process, we ensure the integrity of your product’s test plan every step of the way.
We interface with both our internal product development engineering team and your internal stakeholders to ensure your test plan reflects the requirements of current design specifications during each gated review.

Thorough Scrutiny & Data Analysis
DATA COLLECTION & ANALYSIS
Once your testing is complete, AC engineers collect and analyze the critical test data to validate and verify the performance of your product design. Reporting caters to the complexity of data to determine the best platform for analysis including Excel, scripted data analysis with Python, or specialized mathematical and graphical programming and analysis software like MATLAB or LabVIEW.
DESIGN INSIGHTS & RECOMMENDATIONS FROM TEST RESULTS
Your product’s performance and test results are carefully prepared and reported clearly for a diverse audience. We share test results with your AC Product Development team and necessary cross-functional teams to ensure a high level of visibility.
Our test engineers deliver engineering insights and design recommendations from your test results so that your product’s design is improved quickly and efficiently.
LEVERAGING AUTOMATION FOR TESTING
Complex manual testing can benefit from custom automation. AC Manufacturing Automation experts team up with Hardware Testing teams to design automated test devices and fixtures that can perform the testing without the need of manual monitoring or assistance.
