Abstract

Multistrategy testing allows the test developer to choose the appropriate combination of test approaches to meet the test requirements given the economic and timescale constraints. After describing the goals of test program development, the author discusses major styles of testing, connectivity tests, digital and analog functional tests, analog and digital in-circuit tests, emulation tests, and structured design for testability. Other issues considered are architecture support for multistrategy testing, modular test structures, and separate test execution and diagnosis
