Abstract

The invention provides a method of test pattern generation for an integrated circuit (IC) design simulation system, comprising merging at least 2 test vectors into a merged vector, wherein each test defines a set of test behaviors, and compiling and linking the merged vector using the IC design simulation system to generate a merged test pattern able to perform each set of test behaviors independently.
