These SBST approaches provide the high quality at-speed testing with additional features and reduce the high cost of hardware. This paper presents a survey on the structural software-based self-testing (SBST) of embedded processors for manufacturing test. This paper goes over the main points of structural-based self-testing techniques for manufacturing and functional testing of an embedded processor (e.g. Hierarchical-based and Register-Transfer Level-based (RTL-based)). Finally, an overview of the remarkable accomplishments of SBST and the major challenges faced in making these techniques reliable for industrial processors is presented. © 2014 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l. - All rights reserved. publisher: Praise Worthy Prize date: 2014 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Shaheen, A.-R. and Hussin, F.A. and Hamid, N.H. and Ali, N.B.Z.
