TestMAX Advisor

RTL Testability Analysis and Optimization

Synopsys TestMAX Advisor, built on SpyGlass® technology, performs RTL testability analysis and optimization, enabling designers to fine-tune RTL early in the design cycle to predictably meet manufacturing and in-system test coverage goals. The tool’s extensive design-for-test (DFT) rule checking and RTL fault coverage estimation capabilities pinpoint testability issues early in the flow thereby enabling designers to avoid test bottlenecks downstream that can lead to time-consuming design iterations. TestMAX Advisor identifies areas in the design with hard-to-test ATPG faults and provides a report of test points to improve test coverage and reduce patterns and test costs.
