Why Can’t DFT Totally Eliminate Functional Test?
Growing complexity of IC test issues demand using multiple approaches that complement each other in order to achieve cost effective solutions. As target IC size (i.e. equivalent number of logic gates) increases there is an obvious problem due to increased computational effort that is needed to generate test vectors. From a purely algorithmic point of view, it should be obvious that Design for T...
متن کاملWhy we need better test evaluations.
A laboratory test is clinically useful only if it successfully answers a question of consequence to patient management. Unfortunately, the results and conclusions of many published test evaluations are misleading or of uncertain validity because common-sense principles of study design are overlooked. This is illustrated by examples from recent literature. We suggest that tests should be evaluat...
متن کاملWhen, why and how to test spreadsheets
Testing is a vital part of software development, and spreadsheets are like any other software in this respect. This paper discusses the testing of spreadsheets in the light of one practitioner’s experience. It considers the concept of software testing and how it differs from reviewing, and describes when it might take place. Different types of testing are described, and some techniques for perf...
متن کاملWhy There Is No Statistical Test for Confounding, Why Many Think There Is, and Why They Are Almost Right
Confounding is a simple concept. If we undertake to estimate the e ect of one variable (X) on another (Y ) by examining the statistical association between the two, we ought to ensure that the association is not produced by factors other than the e ect under study. The presence of spurious association, due for example to the in uence of extraneous variables, is called confounding as it tends to...
متن کاملRepeat screening for HIV: when to test and why.
This paper presents models for repeat HIV screening under conditions of constant low HIV incidence. The models reveal a direct link between the prevalence of undetected HIV infection and the screening interval between repeat HIV tests. We show how to select screening intervals that either achieve a given HIV prevalence level, or optimally balance the cost of repeat HIV testing against the cost ...
