TLDR
In this paper, a method for testing the logic function of complex digital integrated circuits is presented, which is based on an adapted version of signature analysis, and on circuit partitioning (the structure of VLSI circuits is assumed to be inherently modular).
Abstract
A method for testing the logic function of complex digital integrated circuits is presented. The extra hardware needed is kept minimal by functional conversion of already existing components (e.g., registers). The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated by results from both hardware simulation and logic simulation. The method is based on an adapted version of signature analysis, and on circuit partitioning (the structure of VLSI circuits is assumed to be inherently modular).

Polynomially Complete Fault Detection Problems

TL;DR: Several variations of the single fault detection problem for combinational logic circuits are looked at and it is shown that deciding whether single faults are detectable by input-output (I/O) experiments is polynomially complete, i.e., there is a polynomial time algorithm to decide if they are detectable.
