The specification for the product's test hardware, defining probe card, load board and socket requirements: pin maps, site counts, power, signal integrity, temperature and mechanical constraints.
Specification Work product in the Test program and ATE development lifecycle
It gives hardware designers a single, complete set of requirements before long lead time hardware is ordered. Without it, boards and cards are designed on assumptions, pin conflicts appear late and respins delay first silicon test.
