            Abstract : 
Although it is an integral part of any manufactured chip and a crucial step to guarantee the required quality, VLSI Test technology seems to become less attractive/interesting for the research community. Funding bodies are minimizing their funding in the area, scientists are moving to other hot topics, industry is not seriously supporting academia in the field, etc.
