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
