Abstract
A test apparatus for testing a device-under-test includes: a pattern generator configured to generate an address signal, a test signal, and an expected value signal; a logical comparator configured to compare an output signal outputted from the device-under-test with the expected value signal. The logical comparator generates a fail signal when the output signal is different from the expected value signal; and a failure analysis memory configured to receive the address signal from the pattern generator and to receive the fail signal from the logical comparator. The failure analysis memory includes: a first storage section configured to store a fail address value that corresponds to the fail signal and a fail data value included in the fail signal as a set of data; and a second storage section configured to read the set of data from the first storage section and to store the fail data value.
