Abstract

Engineering management is today confronted with a complex problem: in order to achieve the highest quality level possible, the optimun allocation of corporate resources must be made. This paper reviews some earlier work done in terms of relative area penalties and extends the analysis to both production costs and the realm of research and development costs. The paper also identifies the areas where Design-for-Test really pays off and underscores the importance of all this by correlating test coverage with average quality level.
