Characterization Test attributed to Michael Feathers???

The term Characterization Test is attributed to Michael Feathers in his book Working Effectively with Legacy Code (ISBN 0-13-117705-2), but I know the term has been used for at least 20 years and probably more like 30 year in testing semiconductor hardware. The test characterized the part to see if it was within spec. Later characterization was done to see if the fabrication process had drifted, or to compare the characteristics of parts developed on a new process.
