The paper deals with analytical approach to the RTL testability analysis and its
results. Approach is based as on circuit i path analysis, finding i paths
existence conditions and the ways in which these conditions could be set, as on
difficult to control/observe nodes location. On these testability analysis
results basis, UUA (Unit Under Analysis) modification is suggested. This
modification is based on insertion of selected registers into scan chain in order
to improve controllability/observability properties of previously located
difficult to control/observe nodes. The goal of presented methodology is to
maximally utilise current UUA structure for future test application to reduce
necessary modifications for UUA testability improvements suggested by UUA
testability analysis results.
