Circuit testing is the most significant cost in modern chip design and production. Due to the complexity in terms of millions of gates, manufacturers often have to truncate test patterns to make the testing feasible on ATEs with limited capacities. In this paper, we present a novel approach to this challenge by run-time coordinating the algorithm and ATE. A unique combination of a #SAT solver, checksum computation and frame testing enables the efficient incremental testing. Unlike checksums from the communication domain which can only detect the existence of stuck-at faults, our approach differentiates by also locating them. In our experimental results, our method further demonstrates a shorter testing time.
