Abstract

Presented embodiments facilitate efficient and effective flexible implementation of different types of testing procedures in a test system. Presented embodiments enable efficient and effective random generation of test input information. In one embodiment a method includes accessing a plurality of data values to write to a DUT, generating a plurality of addresses pseudo randomly and assigning the address to a respective one of the data values, wherein assignments of a particular address to different respective ones of the data values are randomly repeatable; and directing writing of the data values to the DUT in accordance with the plurality of addresses that are randomly generated and randomly repeated. The generating a plurality of addresses randomly can include normalization. Generating a plurality of addresses pseudo randomly and assigning the address to a respective one of the data values can include performing a confirmation check. The confirmation check can include checking if the addresses within proper parameters.
