Tests Performed in Testpoint Analysis

Several testpoint analysis tests can be run. For each test performed, results might be reported to the result categories available for that test. In the result category descriptions in this document, the test name is indicated in parentheses after the category name.

Spacing — Reports the spacing between testpoints.

Testpoints are designated by the feature attribute ICT Test Point, Test Point Potential or both as defined by ERF variable v_testpoint_attr.

If v_testpoint_attr = both, then all incidences of ICT Test Point and Test Point Potential are reported along with any incidences of both on the same feature. If two attributes of the same feature contradict one another, the value of Test Point Potential is used.

For example, if v_testpoint_attr = both and a pad has feature attribute ICT Test Point and Test Point Potential = not_potential_tp_manual, the not_potential_tp_manual is used and the pad is ignored during analysis.
