As the use of wireless communications in daily life increases,attaining low-cost solutions becomes increasingly important due toshrinking profit margins. Cost optimization that solely targets atminimization of the cost of system architecture may result in sub-optimal,highly untestable, solutions. Test design and design fortestability need to be incorporated into the system design flow toachieve viable solutions. This paper presents an analysis of test requirements,implications and test cost for low-cost Bluetooth systems.Testability problems are identified and possible solutionsalong with avenues to reduce the test cost by utilizing lower-costtesters are discussed.
