The process of designing, manufacturing, and maintenance of electronic circuits and systems inevitably includes their testing. It is not possible to deliver a quality and reliable industrial product to the market if it is not thoroughly tested. Hence, the ability to test one’s own product is in fact a requirement to market that product.

Of course, as is well known, testing does not give the manufacturer new values but only the knowledge that the products he delivers to the market are good as expected. In some situations both the manufacturer and the maintenance support are facing the need to diagnose the failure which means to find the nature and the location of the fault causing malfunction of a circuit or system. That will be also solved based on testing.

To bring the subject to the reader, in this book, we will visit several topics.

Most of our attention will be devoted to test signal synthesis for analog and for combinational digital circuits. This issue is almost entirely dependent on the circuit and system designer and is based on knowledge of both the functionality of the system and the failure modes in the life cycle of the product starting with design and ending with field exploitation. Procedures will be advised (and illustrated) leading to selection of test signals accommodated to the structure and the nature of the functionality of the system.

Unlike other book of the LNAE series here there will be no chapter devoted to Spice simulation examples since Spice is extensively used throughout the previous chapters.
