The third main step on a motherboard manufacturing process is testing. Build 20 has two floors with four testing lines each on south wing and two floors with two testing lines each on north wing, so this factory has total of 12 testing lines.

All motherboards are individually tested. The tests are performed in two steps. On first step the manufacturer simply tests if the motherboard turns on. On second step all motherboard features are tested. It is important to notice that all motherboards are tested.
