Abstract :
This paper proposes a method for automated test pattern generation for fault diagnosis on continuous-time analog electrical networks based on evolutionary techniques. The paper states a method for coding a generic algorithm, based on a given heuristic, that are able to generate a set of optimum frequencies capable of disclosing parametric faults. The method itself is generic, and not based on specific or ad hoc features at all.
