PCB testing methods during manufacturing and assembly?

We plan to visit factory next week. Could we know more about how many basic PCB testings in EMS field?
  1. VISUAL INSPECTION
  2. IN-CIRCUIT TESTING (ICT)
  3. FLYING PROBE TESTING(FPT)
  4. AUTOMATED OPTICAL INSPECTION (AOI)
  5. AUTOMATED X-RAY INSPECTION(AXI)
  6. FUNCTIONAL TESTING (FCT)
  7. BURN-IN TESTING

What Others Are Asking

Are the two modules interfering with each other in a PCB with GSM module and the gp-635t GPS?

In my current prototype, I have a SIMCOM GSM module and the gp-635t GPS. They are both in an enclsoure including antennas (gps antenna is integrated). What I experience is sometimes poor GSM and GPS connectivity and sometimes GPS doesn’t get any fix (in the 2 minutes of time i allocate for it) and the GSM fails to send data sometimes. Any tips on this case?

How can the amount of dielectric material affect a PCB?

I understand that the dielectric material on a PCB (i.e. FR-4) can affect the capacitance of the board. But I don’t understand why is that capacitance significant, and in what applications should the amount of dielectric material be taken into consideration?
