Question 1.
What is test compression?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how data size can be managed in testing.
Question 2.
Name one technique of test pattern compression.
Show hintHide hint
Consider methods that replace sequences of data.
3Question 3.
What is the advantage of test compression?
- Increased testing time
- Reduced size of test data
- Higher costs
Show hintHide hint
Think about how compression affects data handling.
4Question 4.
True or False: Test minimization aims to increase the number of test vectors.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the term 'minimization' in this context.
Question 5.
A particular circuit design requires 1,000 unique test vectors. If a greedy algorithm reduces this to 850 while maintaining coverage, what percentage reduction has occurred?
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula for percentage change.
Question 6.
A test data set consists of the sequence: 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0. How would run-length encoding represent this sequence?
Show hintHide hint
Think about summarizing groups of items.
