Testpunkterna

Testpunkterna, a Swedish compound of test and punkter, literally 'the test points,' is a term used in several Swedish-language contexts to denote focal points for evaluation, measurement, or validation. The exact meaning depends on field.

In electronics and hardware engineering, testpunkter refer to physical points on a circuit board or module prepared for measurement. They may be exposed pads, test pads, vias, or connectors and are used with probes to observe voltages, currents, or signals during debugging, manufacturing testing, or qualification.

In software testing or QA contexts, the term may refer to test points in a test plan, i.e., predetermined moments where tests are executed or where requirements are verified; such points often serve as milestones or checkpoints.

In education, science, or data collection, testpunkterna may denote assessment points or sampling locations where observations or measurements are taken.

Because usage varies across domains, there is no single universal definition of testpunkterna.
