What are these pads on the bottom of a PCB?



enter image description here



My best guess is that they're termination pads, but googling it didn't turn up many results so I can't verify that.

          They're called test points. They're places to stick your multimeter probes, or, more commonly, an industrial test jig.

            Hm, I don't think these are test points - this board has some (not in the picture) and they're labelled with TP and the pad size and shape are different.

            They may be only for system validation by the manufacturer, whereas the ones labelled TP could be for maintenance purposes? They look exactly like the test points used on a number of boards I've seen and made, so I'd be surprised if they aren't.
