Customer Reviews

controllability and observability

I am a engineer of automatic control. This book introduce very important concepts for testing. 9.3 Controllability and Observability is important concepts. If it is observable, it may not controllable. Testability, controllability and observability should be analized for testing. This book is good start point of testing.

PLA testing 15. system level diagnosis 9.3 Controllability and Observability is important concepts. If it is observable, it may not controllable. Testability, controllability and observability should be analized for testing. This book is good start point of testing. At 2010, 10th edition is printing.

Excellent Text on Digital Systems Testing

This book is not ideal for engineers with very little exposure to digital circuitry. A prior course in digital circuits is essential before getting the most from this text. Once you have a fundamental background, this book is excellent in extending your design knowledge into the testing world. A great design which cannot be tested isn't worth much. This book will reinforce this concept.

Excellent book, good intro to VLSI testing

This is a very readable book; things are explained clearly. Almost every area of VLSI testing is covered (some in little details, but still covered!). Nice book to build a foundation for more advanced testing courses or just as an introduction into VLSI testing. I love it so much that I bought 2 :) It's a long story.

Comprahensive book for testing

I am graduate student in VLSI testing. This book has everything from basics to latest testing techniques. No wonder that the authors took nore than 8 years to complete it. There is no other book in testing which is so comprehensive. If you are begginer or student with some experience in testing this book will best serve your needs.
