Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of constructing the testing procedure of an analog circuit by applying the fault classification tables of the analog circuit. The constructing method classifies the fault classification tables to establish a decision tree. Entropy definitions are defined and the decision tree is thus established by following the rule of decreasing the entropy values. A search procedure of the decision tree can be performed as to find the failure mode next time when the analog circuit is detected.
