The invention relates to a method for testing an electronic component for defects, by examining the electronic component in a production line by means of automatic optical inspection; determining the coordinates of regions in which an examination using automatic optical inspection is not possible; transmitting the coordinates of these regions from the production line to a computer; transporting the electronic component from the production line into an X-ray device which is arranged outside the production line, for non-destructive material testing; transmitting the coordinates of the regions from the computer to this X-ray device; examining the electronic component by means of the X-ray device only in the regions in which an examination using automatic optical inspection is not possible; transmitting the results of the examination in the X-ray device to the computer; returning the electronic component to the production line if the result indicates that it is not defective.
