Enhanced Test Program Compaction Using Genetic Programming
Ernesto Sánchez, Massimiliano Schillaci, Giovanni Squillero · 2006
This paper presents an evolutionary compaction method for microprocessor test programs originally written in the form of a loop. First it is shown that the loop form is redundant in the number of execution of a specific instruction; then a novel compaction method for these test programs is detailed. The effectiveness of the approach is finally proven against a widely-known microcontroller core.
