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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
