Hw Integration Test

When to Use

• After hardware implementation is completed.
• When any hardware integration test activity is required.

Critical Patterns

• Shall strictly follow the provided resources and recursively review all referenced documents required to understand the current process, inputs, outputs, rules and directly referenced work products.
• Shall align with hardware architecture (no inconsistencies).
• Shall ensure all hardware integration tests are derived from hardware architecture by adding explicit traceability between them.
• Shall define and implement the hardware integration tests against the hardware architecture to validate that the hardware implementation correctly realizes it.
• Shall use PySpice only when simulation-based validation is appropriate according to the defined process.
• Shall keep documentation DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) by adding references instead of duplicating content.
• Shall ask for approval on key hardware integration test decisions.
• Shall request final validation before closing the hardware integration test to ensure no further iterations are needed.
