Guide Overview 

Ensuring reliable testing and faster validation is critical to delivering high‑quality PCBs, and Altium’s Testpoint Manager is designed to make that process simpler and more efficient. This asset explains how Testpoint Manager centralizes the creation, assignment, and management of testpoints directly within Altium Designer helping engineers optimize boards for both bare‑board fabrication testing and in‑circuit assembly testing. By automating testpoint assignment based on defined design rules, teams can improve test coverage, reduce manual errors, and maintain consistency across designs.

The content also highlights how a well‑planned testpoint strategy can shorten debugging cycles, lower manufacturing costs, and increase confidence in production testing. From managing testpoints across nets to generating clearer testpoint reporting for manufacturers, Testpoint Manager gives designers greater visibility and control over board testability without disrupting their design workflow.
