A Common Mode Scan Based BIST for Stuck-at-Fault and Path Delay Fault
Abstract: Testing for delay and stuck-at faults requires two pattern tests and test sets are usually large. Built-in self-test (BIST) scheme is attractive for comprehensive testing. The BIST test pattern generators (TPGs) for such testing should be designed to ensure high pattern-pair coverage. In the proposed work, necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure complete/maximal pattern-pair coverage for sequential circuit have been derived. A new test data-compression scheme is an effective approach …

Software Testing Framework for Mobile Cloud
Abstract: In this article, we discussed a number of tools and their service providers for performance and functional testing. Cloud testing is often used for performance or load testing, and not for functional testing. There are many factors that make testing in a cloud environment more attractive and better than traditional testing methods, but at the same time, it faces many problems and challenges, because the IT industry is constantly changing …
