Abstract
Generating a test sequence includes receiving a circuit representation describing a circuit, and a fault associated with the circuit representation. A miter circuit model associated with a good circuit model and a faulty circuit model is established according to the circuit representation. A satisfiability problem corresponding to the fault as associated with the miter circuit model is also established. Whether the satisfiability problem is satisfiable is determined. If the satisfiability problem is satisfiable, a test sequence is generated for the fault as associated with the miter circuit model.
