Description

BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure generally relates to a voltage testing device and method for a power supply.

2. Description of Related Art

After a computer is manufactured, an overall test is required to check the quality. The power supply test is one of the most important tests. A common method for testing the power supply is to use a conventional device to test the power supply and to record corresponding data manually, which is inefficient.
