This document outlines different methods for testing electronic components: (1) Automated testing uses tools to execute repeatable tests and compare results over time; (2) Debugging is part of software development and starts with initial coding; (3) Inspection involves organized examination and evaluation of measurements and tests against standards; (4) Platform testing requires a medium and uses open specifications to test complete electronic systems; (5) Prototyping assesses design viability by testing new models or designs.
