Breaking correlation to improve testability

Correlation introduced by reconvergent fanout and conditional statements is considered. Testability problems caused by correlation are described and behavioral modification techniques to implicitly break the correlation are presented. An analysis and insertion scheme is proposed that systematically identifies testability problems in a circuit and modifies the circuit to resolve
