Word for: powering up an electronic prototype for the first time

English Language & Usage Asked by akwky on February 12, 2021

I’m looking for a technical term for performing the following activity.

In electronics, when a person designs a device (or a circuit board) and has it manufactured, the next phase is to:

  • Perform preliminary checks before connecting it to power for the first time.
  • Sometimes power only parts of it, incrementally, making sure it doesn’t burn out, etc.
  • While at it, checking that various parameters are within specifications.
  • Find and fix any minor issues or parts that are not working as intended.

In my native language (Czech), there is a word for this (oživení), roughly translated as revival.

Is there a matching term in English?
