1. A method for predicting board test coverage, comprising:

  • a) enumerating potentially defective properties for a board design;

    b) determining how each of a number of potential test technologies could be applied to the board design; and

    c) predicting board test coverage for one or more combinations of the potential test technologies by;

    i) for each potentially defective property enumerated, generate a property score that is indicative of whether a potential test technology could test for the potentially defective property; and

    ii) combining property scores to predict board test coverage for each combination of potential test technologies.
