Testing and Structured Design

Abstract

This paper describes part of an integrated circuit testing project carried out at Caltech between 1979 and 1982. The central theme and result of the project is a language or notation for describing tests for complex integrated circuits. The evolution of this test language has been guided by many considerations, including (1) its implementation in a working, interactive test system called FIFI, (2) its fit to ideas about the architecture of high-performance test instruments, and (3) its expressivity for a design-for-testability strategy for chip designs structured in the general style presented by Mead and Conway [1].
