Abstract

A method and apparatus for automatically debugging and optimizing an in-circuit test that is used to test a device under test on an automated tester is presented. The novel test debug and optimization technique extracts expert knowledge contained in a knowledge framework and automates the formulation of a valid stable, and preferably optimized, test for execution on an integrated circuit tester.
