Improving the Efficiency of the Oscillation-Based Test Methodology for Parametric Faults

In this paper we introduce the use of Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations in order to facilitate OTM implementation and to evaluate fault coverage quantitatively even for parametric faults. Thanks to a case study, we demonstrate the contribution of MC simulations for both tolerance range and test efficiency determination.
