A system of performing boundary scan test on pin through test point and a method thereof are disclosed. When an under-test pin of a target connector is determined to be unable to perform a boundary scan test, a test point connected to and closest to the under-test pin is searched, a test signal is transmitted to a target connector, a result signal from the target connector in response to the test signal is received, an expected result and the result signal are compared to generate a test result, so that a boundary scan function can be applied to test a connector of a computer product, to achieve the technical effect of providing a better test range and a better test coverage to improve test efficiency and reduce test cost, compared to conventional boundary scan test.

System of performing boundary scan test on pin through test point and method thereof

A test coverage rate improvement system for pins of tested circuit board and a method thereof are disclosed. In the system, partial pins of a circuit board connector in a tested circuit board are not electrically connected to the boundary scan chip, test pins of the test pin board are pressed with the partial pins by a fixture of a boundary scan interconnect testing workstation to electrically connect the test pins to the partial pins. A test access port controller receives a detection signal for detecting the partial pins, which are not electrically connected to the boundary scan chip, of the circuit board connector through the test pin board from the test adapter card, and determines whether conduction is formed based on the detection signal, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving a test coverage rate for the pins of the tested circuit board.
