  • Abstract
    This article describes the development of adaptive testing in response to the ever-growing need to dynamically and cost-effectively tailor IC testing to discriminately manage manufacturing process variations. Various degrees of adoption are presented, together with benefits and examples of its use. Finally, challenges for future development are discussed.
