TestOps: Semiconductor Data Management and Specification Framework

What is TestOps?

As semiconductor designs grow more complex, traditional post-silicon validation can’t keep pace with demands for faster turnarounds and higher reliability. Validation is no longer a simple checkpoint—it’s a strategic phase that directly impacts product success.

TestOps brings DevOps principles to post-silicon validation, transforming it into an agile, efficient, and collaborative process. By automating workflows, enhancing test coverage, and enabling smarter lab resource use, TestOps helps teams validate chips faster and more thoroughly—reducing time-to-market and improving product quality.

TestOps has two critical sections, one is the Definition, Planning, Analysis and Reporting section that primarily deals with the test specification, planning, analysis and reporting, mostly done on Cloud/on-prem agnostic of the test systems. The other is the Test Program development, Execution, Data Collection section that deals with the development and execution of the test programs, data collection which is done on the test systems with device under test (DUT) and hardware.

Semiconductor Data Management and Specification Infrastructure

Definition of specifications, managing them, planning the tests, collection of data, analysis and reporting is a critical part of the semiconductor validation process. Soliton’s TestOps offering provides a comprehensive framework development services to manage you semiconductor specification and measurement data using top cloud providers like AWS, Azure, GCP or on-premise solutions.

With our 20+ years of experience in semiconductor validation, we understand the unique challenges faced by validation teams. Our development teams and engineers are experts in creating custom frameworks that address these challenges, providing you with the tools and insights needed to manage your semiconductor data effectively.

Key Features of TestOps Data Management and Specification Framework

Specification Management

A robust system for managing specifications, ensuring data integrity and compliance.

Test Planning and Execution

Features that helps the test leads and managers to plan the tests, assign them to the engineers, track the progress and execution of the tests.
