Growth of so‰ware size, lack of resources to perform regression testing, and failure to detect bugs faster have seen increased reliance on continuous integration and test automation. Even with greater hardware and so‰ware resources dedicated to test automation, so‰ware testing is faced with enormous challenges, resulting in increased dependence on complex mechanisms for automated test case sele...

The development process in software product line engineering is divided into domain engineering and application engineering. As a consequence of this division, tests should be performed in both processes. However, existing testing techniques for single systems cannot be applied during domain engineering, because of the variability in the domain artifacts. Existing software product line test tec...

This paper deals with Hybrid multisite testing of VLSI chips by utilizing automatic test equipment (ATE) in connection with built-in self-test (BIST). The performance of a multisite testing process is analyzed using device-under-test (DUT) parameters (such as yield and average number of faults per DUT) as well as test process features (such as number of channels, coverage and touchdown time for...

Test power is major issue of recent scenario of VLSI testing. There are many test pattern generation techniques for testing of combinational circuits with different tradeoffs. The don’t care bit filling method can be used for effective test data compression as well as reduction in scan power. This paper gives a new advancement in automatic test pattern generation method by feeling don’t care bi...

The goal of this research is to study the performance ofmeshless approximations and their integration. Two diffuse shape functions, namely the moving least-squares and local maximum-entropy function, and a linear triangular interpolation are compared using Gaussian integration and the stabilized conforming nodal integration scheme. The shape functions and integration schemes are tested on two e...

The aims of this paper are to empirically test the relationship between knowledge sharing practices within and between trading partners as a framework for integration, and to test for the effect of these practices on firm performance. Data was collected from 418 organizations in the manufacturing industry in Australia. Structural equation modelling approach to data analysis was used. It was fou...
