Abstract

A method of testing a circuit having multiple elements is disclosed. A plurality of faults representing the elements of the circuit for testing said circuit is created. The faults are grouped based on common attributes of the faults. A test pattern for each group of faults is created. Finally, the circuit is tested using test patterns for each group of faults.
