  • Abstract
    We cannot improve what we cannot measure and a major issue with system test today is that we do not know how effective it is in detecting defects, diagnosing failures, and ensuring field quality. This situation is in contrast to that of ICs, where test quality metrics have resulted in DPMs of 100 -1000 at board and system test and mean time to failures in the hundreds of millions of hours. This paper proposes a framework for system level coverage metrics, using fault sampling and a variety of defect models.
