Testing (Cont’d)

In compatibility testing, ABIT tests 10 pieces per day of each model that is being manufactured to check the compatibility of the product with several operational systems and components from different vendors (for example, several memory modules from different manufacturers), in order to check if there is any compatibility or conflict issue with the product being tested.

ABIT burn-in test is done by sampling, where 10 pieces per day of each model that is being manufactured are tested running Windows XP and several testing programs on ambient temperature for 24 hours to check if anything wrong happens.

The test ABIT call environmental we never seen in other factory (or, if it exists, nobody showed us). In this test the part being tested is turned on inside a thermal chamber. Inside this chamber the temperature is lowered to 32º F (0º C) and than raised up to 104º F (40º C), and the air humidity is lowered to 0% and then raised up to 85%. This test runs for 24 hours and by the end a report showing if the tested part worked fine or showed errors is presented. Because this test needs a special chamber to be done, only three pieces of each model that are manufactured per day are tested.
