Question 1.
What is test compression?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we can manage large datasets.
Question 2.
Explain the importance of test minimization.
Show hintHide hint
Consider testing time and efficiency.
3Question 3.
What is the primary goal of test compression?
- To increase test data
- To reduce test data size
- To improve fault detection
Show hintHide hint
Think about what compression typically achieves.
4Question 4.
True or False: Test minimization can lead to fewer patterns and higher fault coverage.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how minimization works.
Question 5.
Consider an IC that originally requires 100 test patterns for complete fault coverage. You deploy test minimization and achieve full coverage with only 40 patterns. Discuss the implications of this reduction for testing time and resource allocation.
Show hintHide hint
Think about time savings and resource management.
Question 6.
If an engineer uses a compression algorithm that achieves 50% reduction in test vector size while maintaining fault coverage, how does this affect testing efficiency and process?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the overall impact on testing logistics.
