Digital testing and reliability education (DTRE) computer tool

This paper describes our computer tool for the educational course "Diagnostics and Reliability". It consists of three programs and a web presentation. It serves for education, practical lessons and exercises but not for replacing it. The web presentation contains theoretical parts of each topic, user manuals, examples and programs for experiments to perform. The simple JeL language based on Boolean equations can describe the structure of a tested circuit. The TEST program generates the complete structural detection test set. The pseudo-random test can be generated by the HILDO program and next the test fault coverage can be studied and a fault dictionary can be created. The RELIABILITY program computes basic reliability characteristics from a graphical block model. The brief description of the JeL language, these three programs and the structure of our Digital Testing and Reliability Education (DTRE) tool are presented.
