Abstract
Various aspects of the disclosed technology relate to techniques of creating test templates for test pattern generation. Residual test cubes for a plurality of faults are first generated based on a signal probability analysis of a circuit design. Test templates are then generated based on merging the residual test cubes. Finally, a plurality of test patterns and/or compressed test cubes are generated based on one of the test templates.
