An apparatus, system and method for functional test failure prediction

A functional test failure prediction (FTFP) engine embodied in non-transitory computing code for execution by at least one processor, comprising:

• a plurality of inputs, capable of receiving at least:
• a product design;
• a manufacturing design for the product design;
• a plurality of specified functional parameters for the product design;
• bills of materials for the product design;
• and
• prior outcome feedback;
• at least one algorithm for virtually applying a plurality of product-specific tests to the product design and the manufacturing design;
• a comparator capable of comparing an outcome of the algorithm to the specific functional parameters to assess whether, were the product-specific tests actually applied, the product design would meet or exceed the specified functional parameters;
• at least one learning module capable of learning from at least the actual application of the product-specific tests, and eventual performance of a product resultant from the product design and the manufacturing design;
• a feedback loop to provide at least the comparator outcome and the learning of the learning module back to the plurality of inputs as the prior outcome feedback;
• and
• a graphical user interface output capable of providing at least the outcome of the comparator to a user.
