Testpoint management becomes much easier
Managing test points is rarely as simple as it should be. In many projects, they are defined by different teams at different stages of development, which quickly leads to inconsistent naming, incomplete coverage, and unnecessary manual work.
The Testpoint Report in PCB-Investigator brings structure to that process. It provides a clear overview of how many test points exist per net and makes nets without any testpoint immediately visible. For engineers working on design verification, DFM, or test preparation, that clarity is a major advantage.
Flexible search options for real-world data
Because there is no universal convention for defining test points, the plugin offers several search criteria that can be used in parallel. The search fields do not exclude each other, so multiple conditions can be evaluated at the same time. That makes it practical for complex PCB data and mixed project conventions.
- Search by identifiers or component reference
- Search by package name
- Search for copper pads using test-point attributes, such as ODB++ pad attributes
- Search by pad geometry
- Use semicolons to define multiple values in one field
Useful reporting features for engineering teams
After the search run, the results can be sorted for faster review. You can also display test point positions, check document layers, color-mark results, or deselect them as needed. These options make the report useful not only for analysis, but also for sharing findings across design, fabrication, and test engineering.
A clear testpoint report helps teams spot coverage gaps early and make better decisions with less effort.
