New testing scheme could work for chips and clinics
University of Texas at AustinDiagnostic testing is big business. The global market for testing semiconductors for defects is estimated at $39 billion in 2025. For medical lab tests, the market is even bigger: $125 billion.
Both kinds of tests have something in common, says Rohan Ghuge, assistant professor of decision science in the information, risk, and operations management department at Texas McCombs. They involve complex systems with vast numbers of components, whether they’re evaluating computer chips or human bodies.
New research from Texas McCombs suggests a new approach to testing complex systems that might save time by eliminating some unnecessary and expensive steps.
