Abstract
A methodology for testing a computer system using multiple test units, each test unit being associated with its respective core function circuitry. The core circuitry and its respective test unit are located in a primary integrated circuit component of the computer system, such as a processor, memory, or chipset. The on-chip test units communicate with one another and with other parts of the system, to determine whether a specification of the computer system is satisfied, without requiring a processor core of the computer system to execute an operating system program for the computer system.
