Introduction Most software teams measure quality using something called test coverage, a percentage that shows how much of the codebase was touched during testing. The higher the number, the safer the ...

New research paper titled “Supervised Learning for Coverage-Directed Test Selection in Simulation-Based Verification” from researchers at University of Bristol and Infineon Technologies. “Constrained ...

It happens when metrics suggest that a system is well tested, but important behaviours, risks, or failure scenarios remain unexamined. This illusion often appears when tests focus on executing lines ...

A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...

With more than 20% of organizations deploying updates multiple times per day, according to my company's study, the complexity of test authoring has grown significantly. Test authoring is the process ...

Among the first decisions to be made when initiating a composites testing program is the selection of test methods to follow. Unless performing highly customized testing, it’s usually not difficult to ...

While I was reviewing a whitepaper titled Fuzzing Challenges: Metrics and Coverage, I thought the topic actually would deserve a wider analysis from the perspective of penetration testing. All the ...

Scan is a structured test approach in which the overall function of an integrated circuit (IC) is broken into smaller structures and tested individually. Every state element (D flip-flop or latch) is ...
