Testing an electrical component, the component including a printed circuit board (‘PCB’) with a number of traces, the traces organized in pairs with each trace of a pair carrying current in opposite directions and separated from one another by a substrate layer of the PCB, where testing of the electrical component includes: dynamically and iteratively until a present impedance for a pair of traces of the component is greater than a predetermined threshold impedance: increasing, by an impedance varying device at the behest of a testing device, magnetic field strength of a magnetic field applied to the pair of traces by the impedance varying device, including increasing the present impedance of the pair of traces; measuring, by the testing device, one or more operating parameters; and recording, by the testing device, the measurements of the operating parameters.
