  • Abstract
    The left-edge algorithm is adapted in this paper to deal with the problem of unequal-length block-test scheduling under power dissipation constraints. An extended tree growing technique is used in combination with the left-edge algorithm in order to improve the test concurrency under power dissipation limits. A test scheduling example is discussed highlighting further research directions towards an efficient system-level test scheduling algorithm
