English Abstract
In order to improve the performance of fault independent test generation algorithms for VLSI combinational logic circuits, two new strategies are proposed: Critical Lines Maximization strategy (CLM) and Critical Primary inputs Flipping strategy (CPF). CLM is used to maximize the number of detected faults while generating a test pattern. CPF is used to derive new test pattern(s) from a generated test pattern with little additional effort. In this thesis, a new backtrace procedure, called CLM-Multiple-Backtrace, based on the CLM strategy as well as multiple backtrace procedure of FAN is introduced. A new fault independent test generation algorithm, called MAX, based on these new strategies as well as many other efficient strategies and procedures of the existing test generation algorithms is introduced and illustrated with examples. Experimental results show that MAX is more efficient than the fault independent test generation algorithms given in the literature.
