A method comprising coupling a device to a printed circuit board, one of the device or the printed circuit board having a first connection pad and a second connection pad. The first and second connection pads are directly electrically coupled to one another, without any intervening components between the first and second connection pads, via a test path. The method further comprises performing a continuity test across the first and second connection pads and the test path and disabling the test path between the first and second connection pads.
