Course Description

02208 Test of Integrated Circuits
Plan for Lecture 8 through 9:
Test Evaluation




The testing problem can be formulated in terms of 3 questions
  • Which fault model should we select ?
  • How can we generate a test pattern ?
  • How do we measure the test quality ?
The lectures on test evaluation address the last of these questions.
