Design for Testability - Test for Designability

ABSTRACT

Designing for manufacturability and testability has been addressed by numerous publications and papers in the past. Some of the proposed guidelines have become obsolete because of technology and test system advances. Others have been difficult to justify and enforce by the manufacturing/test organizations of the enterprise. This paper addresses the essential testability considerations, both physical and logical, and focuses on both the new constraints and the new freedoms of modern manufacturing test in the ever-changing challenge.
