In diagnosing a failed system, a smart technician would choose tests to be performed based on the context of the situation. Currently, test program sets do not fault-. isolate wit...
Two approaches have been used to balance the cost of generating e ective tests for ICs and the need to increase the ICs' quality level. The rst approach favorsusing high-leve...
