Abstract :
A brief overview is presented of recent work in the application of the theory of Rademacher-Walsh transforms to fault detection, and analysis. The results are relevant both for the derivation of practical signatures for the testing of circuits and for the theoretical analysis of testing methods. The primary use is in compaction testing, using the coefficients as a possible test and using the transforms to derive deterministic values for the coverage of a test, without resorting to simulation
