Abstract

Apparatus and Method for Testing Circuit Units To Be Tested. According to one aspect, a test apparatus for testing circuit units to be tested, includes a nominal data production unit for production of a nominal data stream, a comparison device for comparison of an actual data stream which is emitted from the circuit unit to be tested as a function of the nominal data stream that is supplied with the nominal data stream; and a compression device for compression of an intermediate result signal which is emitted from the comparison device as a function of the comparison into a test result signal, with the intermediate result signal (108) which is emitted from the comparison device being temporarily stored in a buffer storage device with the intermediate result signal which is temporarily stored in a buffer storage device being read by means of a read unit.
