Question 1.
What is test pattern compression?
Show hintHide hint
Think about why we need to manage less data.
Question 2.
Name one technique used for test pattern compression.
Show hintHide hint
Consider methods that replace long sequences with shorter ones.
3Question 3.
What is the primary purpose of test pattern compression?
- To enhance fault coverage
- To reduce test data size
- To increase testing complexity
Show hintHide hint
Consider why one would want to compress data.
4Question 4.
True or False: Test minimization only focuses on the quantity of test patterns, not their effectiveness.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the definition of minimization.
Question 5.
Given a dataset of 200 test patterns, optimize the patterns using any two described strategies and identify the resulting number of patterns. Discuss the impact on fault coverage.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how each method contributes to efficiency.
Question 6.
Analyze a situation where compression might lead to loss of fault coverage. Propose a strategy to mitigate that risk while still compressing patterns.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the balance between efficiency and thoroughness.
