Abstract
A method for testing a digital circuit as a Device under Test—DUT, including determining a Bit Error Rate—BER—value for each one of a determined number of sample points, the BER value representing the ratio of erroneous digital signals to the total number of regarded digital signals, executing a test for each one of the number of sample points by determining whether the determined BER value exceeds a threshold BER value for that sample point, and analyzing the results of executing the test for each one of the number of sample points for providing a statement about the condition of the DUT.
