  • Abstract
    The Williams and Brown model has long been the gold standard for estimating test escape rate as a function of yield and fault coverage. However, today´s test programs have a number of differing test types, often with overlapping failing unit detections. This paper details the development of a method which permits test escape rate predictions based on product yield and multiple overlapping test coverages.
