1. A method of manufacturing and testing an electronic circuit, the method comprising:

  • forming a plurality of conductive traces on a substrate and providing a gap in one of the conductive traces;

    attaching a circuit component to the substrate and coupling the circuit component to at least one of the conductive traces;

    supporting a battery on the substrate, and coupling the battery to at least one of the conductive traces, wherein a completed circuit would be defined, including the traces, circuit component, and battery, but for the gap;

    verifying electrical connections by performing an in circuit test, after the circuit component is attached and the battery is supported; and

    employing a jumper to electrically close the gap, and complete the circuit, after verifying electrical connections.
