Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) is a software technique for creating specialized test patterns for scan-based semiconductor devices. Software tools that employ ATPG may also employ software fault diagnostics for the purpose of narrowing down the area of search for a semiconductor device failure.[1] Although ATPG and fault diagnostic functions are often incorporated into the same software tool, they are not required to be.
