Abstract
A system and method is disclosed for enforcing a third-party factory test during a quality verification of a newly-manufactured computing device. During an assembly line quality verification, a factory implemented test and a required third-party factory test are executed on a computing device, and then the execution verified by an external process. On verifying the required third-party factory test was executed, the computing device is configured to execute a release image on a subsequent startup of the computing device.
