Abstract :
Summary form only given. This paper considers the test-scheduling problem of a SoC. The proposed approach is based on a "sessionless" test scheme. It minimizes the system test time while respecting a power dissipation limit and test resource sharing constraints. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms other related test scheduling solutions
