Abstract
Summary form only given. The test industry has historically experienced quite a rollercoaster ride of fantastic growth and whiplash-inducing declines in response to semiconductor market cycles through the years. Even for the strongest of companies, such conditions present a tough environment in which to thrive. Yet the test industry is crucial to the success of semiconductor manufacturing and must develop strategies for survival despite constantly changing market dynamics. Since the industry outlook is likely to only become more complex, assessing future market requirements will be critical to staying atop challenges down the road
