TEST FACILITATION DESIGNING APPARATUS AND TEST FACILITATION DESIGNING METHOD

摘要

A test facilitation designing apparatus and a test facilitation designing method wherein multiple input/multiple output modules are also classified in type to further advance the test facilitation design. An integrated-circuit test facilitation designing apparatus (1), which facilitates the tests of data paths in an RTL circuit, comprises a pre-processing part (31) that classifies multiple input/multiple output circuit elements, which are part of the circuit elements constituting the data paths, according to a plurality of types as distinguished in a predetermined through classification for the output terminals; and a control path generating part (35) that decides, based on the type of the output terminal as classified in type, a path from an external input to an input terminal of a designated circuit element to be tested or a path from an output terminal of a designated circuit element to be tested to an external output.
