At the heart of these new test approaches, companies combine sophisticated design-for-test (DFT) software and flexible test pla tforms using specialized structural test approaches. Together, this ...

In three to five years, though, he expects some customers to know before they buy what levels of structural and functional test they need. At that point, he says, dedicated structural and functional ...

The first element of a comprehensive structural-test approach is a comprehensive DFT implementation and rule set. This means rules such as: Required fault coverage and the corresponding fault models.

Another point I’d highlight is functional testing. It’s becoming a fallback for the industry to catch test escapes, but the DFT for functional tests is still evolving. We need better fault models and ...
