While soldering up some prototype boards received from DirtyPCBs (Wherelabs) I found one copy of board A that had two feedthroughs shorted and one copy of board B that had traces with gaps in them (missing copper). Same thing happened before on boards from OshPark. I wish I'd noticed before I soldered the parts on! I guess I need to super inspect each board. The gaps aren't really that hard to see, but the feedthroughs I needed to buzz out to find. Fortunately that one was fixable. The missing copper one is quite a few traces and not sure it's worth the time to rework it.<br>
<br>
So, any sage advice? Is PCB testing worth it? Or is the cost of a couple of bad boards less painful.<br>
