  • Generating a combination exerciser for executing tests on a circuit
    Patent number: 8224614
    Abstract: A first and second test templates are combined to a combination test template. The combination test template may be configured to execute the first and second test templates in combination, and based upon a definition. The combination test template may execute tests in sequential order, concurrently, a combination thereof or the like. The first test template may be configured to be executed by a single-core machine and may be transformed to a multi-core test template that is configured to be executed on a multi-core machine in parallel to other tests. By utilizing the disclosed subject matter, a reduction in overhead of executing the first and second test templates may be achieved; a predetermined interleaving may be performed and a user may control the manner in which the combination test template is executing the first and second test templates. Additionally, reuse of pre-silicon test templates in post-silicon stage may be achieved.
