Abstract

Software fault simulation programs. whether serial. parallel. deductive or concurrent. have been the accepted approach for grading test patterns or qualifying diagnostic programs. With the advent of hardware simulation engines. a potentially faster method of doing fault simulation has arisen. This paper reports on a new methodology for the use of both a hardware simulation engine and a concurrent software simulator to assist in verifying hardware diagnostic programs.
