Touchscreen testing techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a piece of conductor (e.g., metal) is positioned as proximal to a touchscreen device and the touchscreen device is tested by simulating a touch of a user. This technique may be utilized to perform a variety of different testing of a touchscreen device, such as to test latency and probabilistic latency. Additional techniques are also described including contact geometry testing techniques.

Contact geometry tests

Probabilistic latency modeling

Various embodiments provide an input test tool that promotes precision testing, flexibility and repeatability over a wide variety of functionality tests that are utilized in both touch and near-touch input scenarios. The input test tool enables a variety of degrees of motion, including both linear and rotational motion, so that a device under test can be tested utilizing a number of different linear and/or rotational input scenarios.

Latency measurement

A chip member and method of constructing a chip member including an outer portion surrounding an inner portion. The outer portion has a first outer side. The inner portion forms a first cavity opening to the first outer side. The first outer side has a first lip overlying the first cavity. A first flexible tab is secured within the first cavity by the first lip.
