The use of a test specification format in automatic test program generation
Bart Verhelst · 2003
Test specifications formats (TSFs) to facilitate standardization of testing information on ICs and circuit boards are examined. The author describes the application areas of a TSF and shows the practical use of one particular TSF, the neutral code format (NCF) proposed by C. Mortensen (1987). By writing a translator from NCF to a test programming language, it was seen that automatic test program generation is possible. It is found, however, that only GO/NOGO test programs could be generated.>
