Abstract
The present invention provides a method and a system of generic implementation of sharing test pins with I/O cells. The method includes a step of making a general change in a testlib file. The testlib file is suitable for controlling I/O cell pins to gain test access. The general change restricts I/O cells for sharing with test pins. The method further includes a step of making iogen changes for sharing. Optionally, the method may include a step of making a cell level change in the testlib file. The cell level change overrides restrictions defined by the general change.
