Abstract
A preemptive reloading technique is employed in a test program generator. Initialized resources are reset with needed values by reloading instructions. The actual reloaded value is chosen later, when the instruction that actually needs the value is generated. The test program generator distances the reloading instruction from the instruction that actually needs the value, thus making it possible to avoid fixed test patterns and to generate interference-free test segments during design verification.
