Abstract
A first score and a second score for each scan cell are first determined based on numbers of test cubes in a set of test cubes having a specified value of '1' and a specified value of '0' for the each scan cell, respectively. A ranking score for each test cube in the set of test cubes is then determined based on combining the first scores and the second scores corresponding to specified bits of the each test cube in the set of test cubes. Test cubes in the set of test cubes are merged according to a sequence based on the ranking scores in a test pattern generation process.
