First time power on PCB

I do following tests before powering on PCB for the time:

1. have sufficient ESD protection in the testing area
2. Have a digital multimeter
3. verify that all the components are intact placed
4. all the DNIs - do not installs are not loaded
5. if the pads of DNIss are very close(0402, 0201 packages) there is a possibility of getting short when machine soldered due to process. Check those. Should not have DNIs such a small footprint ones ar first place
6. check all diode polarities are correct on board (can use multimeter to verify anode and cathode if diode marking is difficult to read on board)
7. check all ICs pin number 1 marking are correct with respect to board marking
8. Measure resistance at the input of power supply section. Should be in kilo ohms or mega ohms
9. if possible, isolate loads of all regulators by removing series component after the regulators such as ferrites or zero ohm resistors. So that when powered on due to some mistake if voltage generated is higher than expected by the regulator none of the devices will go bad
10. Have power cables tested
11. set the current limit to minimum in the bench supply as all the loads are isolated.
12. Power on and check that there is no much current being drawn then expected
13. measure voltage across feedback pins, pics and switching pins and check against expected values
14. Measure output of all regulator sections
15. test for minimum and maximum input range by changing the input voltage from minimum to maximum
16. once convinced that power section is fine, take a rheostat and connect it across the output of regulator sections and check the load regulation.remember that we have isolated the actual on board load to the switching regulator.
17. if power supply section is found stable for multiple on of cycles with minimum and maximum load, it's time to power in the board
18. measure one again the resistance at the load side, populate the series opened components
19. power on
20. measure voltage of all regulators outputs
21. if all values are found okay, than other activities like JTAG programming ICE Connecticut can be started
