Multiple fault detection using single-fault tests

A special class of two-pattern tests for single faults is defined using the Boolean difference approach to enhance the multiple fault detection ability for combinational circuits. It is shown that just a slight modification of the concurrent test generation method proposed by Agrawal et al. (1989) can derive such two-pattern tests.
