    The document outlines the life-cycle of an electronic system from specification and design to production, testing, and operation/maintenance. It includes stages such as validation, verification, review, inspection, simulation, integration testing, and system testing. The document also discusses causes of incorrect functions such as design errors, fabrication errors, defects, and physical failures as well as the increasing cost of finding defects later in the life-cycle during system or field testing versus during IC testing.
