TLDR
A deductive method of fault simulation is described, which "deduces" the faults defected by a test at the same time that it simulates explicitly only the good behavior of logic circuit.
Abstract
A deductive method of fault simulation is described, which "deduces" the faults defected by a test at the same time that it simulates explicitly only the good behavior of logic circuit. For large logic circuits (at least several thousand gates) it is expected to be faster than "parallel" fault simulators, but uses much more computer memory than do parallel simulators.

Programmed Algorithms to Compute Tests to Detect and Distinguish Between Failures in Logic Circuits

TL;DR: Two algorithms are presented: one, DALG-II, computes a test to detect a failure in acyclic logic circuits; the other, TEST-DETECT, ascertains all failures detected by a given test.

On Finding a Nearly Minimal Set of Fault Detection Tests for Combinational Logic Nets

TL;DR: A procedure is described for finding, by shortcut methods, a near-minimal set of tests for detecting all single faults in a combinational logic net, and it is shown that if a set of Tests can be found which detects an appropriate subset of faults in the enf, this set will detect all faults inThe original net.

A model and implementation of a universal time delay simulator for large digital nets

TL;DR: A systems study of simulation and diagnosis for large digital computing systems has been performed, and the results have led to the implementation to be described, which permits the user to select the level of detail most appropriate to his requirements, and thus not hamper him with overly restrictive assumptions.

Design and Use of Fault Simulation for Saturn Computer Design

TL;DR: A system of IBM 7090 Data Processing System computer programs was developed for the purpose of normal and/or fault simulation of the Saturn computer and several programming techniques were utilized, including logic block ordering, parallel fault simulation, stimulus bypassing, and functional simulation.
