Abstract

See full text

A self-checking test generator program creates a self-checking test program that can test a device under test (DUT). The self-checking test generator selects instructions for a test. Selected instructions are executed on a software DUT model to generate results that can be self-checked by other instructions such as compare and branch instructions. The software DUT model has fuzzy models and unknown models for blocks in the DUT. Fuzzy models generate expected outputs for a block of the DUT. Fuzzy models may propagate unknown data from their inputs to their outputs. Unknown models do not predict expected outputs. Instead, unknown models always output unknown (X). Over time, as more of the DUT logic is modeled, unknown models may be replaced with fuzzy models.
