EXPLORING TEST SPACE WITH FUZZY DECISION-MAKING

To cope with the increasing number of design-for-testability technique s, designers require CAD tools to help organize, evaluate, and select test techniques that satisfy design objectives. The authors propose a fuzzy decision-making approach for the selection of test methodologies . To show how a single decision model deals with several selection pro blems encountered in VLSI design, they apply the model to the selectio n of a DFT technique for a programmable logic array.
