DFT, test lifecycles and the product lifecycle
G.D. Robinson · 2003
There's more to DFT than scan, BIST and ATPG. These have automated the easy tasks, yet many activities in the lifecycles of tests and products use less formalized DFT methods and tools. Three independent but interacting lifecycles are used to identify activities that DFT should help. These lifecycles illustrate the technical and managerial constraints on making full use of DFT structures, particularly for the critical project-threatening tasks where not everything goes smoothly.
