Abstract :
The key elements of designing for testability are presented. The following issues are discussed: review of requirements, partitioning, identification of critical parameters, tolerance threshold, selection, test flow development, assessment of testability parameters, and design update and reiteration. The benefits of designing for testability are discussed
