Influence of guiding testability measure on number of backtracks of ATPG program
G. Chiorboli, A. Ferrari · IEE Proceedings E Computers and Digital Techniques · 1989
A major problem, in accelerating an algorithm for test generation, is how to reduce the number of backtracks. The paper considers different measures of controllability and observability, and compares the number of backtracks obtained on large combinational circuits. Finally, we propose a new controllability measure which is, on average, more efficient than the others.
