Adapting to adaptive testing

Adaptive testing is a generic term for a number of techniques which aim at improving the test quality and/or reducing the test application costs. In adaptive tests, the test content or pass/fail limits are not fixed as in conventional tests, but dependent on other test results of the currently or previously tested chips. Part-average testing, outlier detection, and neighborhood screening are just a few examples of adaptive testing. With this Embedded Tutorial, we are offering an introduction to this topic, which is hot in the test community, to the wider DATE audience.
