Fault simulation, one of the oldest tools in the EDA industry toolbox, is receiving a serious facelift after it almost faded from existence. In the early days, fault simulation was used to grade the ...

The growth in safety-critical applications has ushered in a paradigm shift in automotive IC functional safety and test coverage analysis. The increased need for safety, low defect rate, and long-term ...

One of the hardest things about developing software is to test it thoroughly. This is especially true when simulating problems that require hardware, software, registry, or other changes. Making such ...

Exceptions are, by definition, exceptional. In .NET applications, exception handlers provide the code that will respond to unusual events: things like files not being found, the system running out of ...

In electronics engineering, a fault simulator predicts what will happen to a circuit when a component malfunctions, without having to actually install a bad component in the circuit. DPFS (DevPartner ...

This is the second part of a two-part discussion (Part 1 appeared in August) in which the author considers fault-coverage analysis and simulation for full-scan testing of ASIC designs. These elements ...

Designs with LogicBIST exhibit random pattern resistance because of the random nature of LBIST vectors, thus leading to low fault coverage. To handle this, we insert test points with the help of ...

Compuware's DevPartner Fault Simulator helps you make sure your code is as reliable as possible. Plus first looks at InstallShield 10.5 and other new products this month. Compuware's DevPartner Fault ...
