Abstract

In accordance with the teachings of the present disclosure, a system and method for reducing the amount of time for a boot operation is provided that substantially reduces disadvantages and problems associated with previously developed memory testing systems and methods. The system includes using a shutdown memory test module to perform the bulk of memory testing during system shutdown, rather than at system start up.
