Abstract
A method of testing an integrated circuit on a test circuit board includes performing, by a processor, a simulation of a first heat distribution throughout an integrated circuit design, manufacturing the integrated circuit according to the integrated circuit design, and simultaneously performing a burn-in test of the integrated circuit and an automated test of the integrated circuit. The burn-in test has a minimum burn-in temperature of the integrated circuit and a burn-in heat distribution across the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit design corresponds to the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit is coupled to the test circuit board. The integrated circuit includes a set of circuit blocks and a first set of heaters.
