You're advising an engineering organization that is considering adding a new validation capability to its silicon and platform test flow. Leadership believes it could catch issues earlier and reduce downstream escapes, but it will take meaningful engineering time and may add complexity to the release process.
How would you evaluate whether a new test capability is worth the engineering investment?
Ability to frame a strategic engineering investment decisionUse of estimation and expected-value reasoningJudgment on trade-offs between quality, speed, and costAbility to define the right KPIs and decision thresholds
