A method for arranging test stages in a production line for the assembling
and testing of wireless communications devices comprises: determining a
plurality of tests for testing an assembled wireless communication
device; allocating each test requiring a physical actuation or mechanical
dynamics for testing the assembled wireless communication device from the
plurality of tests to an interactive test stage in the production line;
and, allocating each remaining test requiring no physical actuation or
mechanical dynamics for testing from the plurality of tests between the
interactive test stage and a non-interactive test stage.
