Abstract
The first part of the proposed method presents how to accelerate input test sequence generation to justify a given output sequence on observable points. A satisfiability module theory (SMT) solver generates the test pattern sequence using the time-frame expansion method. The contribution of the proposed approach is to accelerate test pattern generation by invoking a general-purpose multi-threading software tool, called the Executor Service which interacts with the SMT solver. The input to executor service is the design under test (DUT). The multi-threading tool schedules process on resources efficiently to get maximum throughput to reduce execution time. The user also determines the number of time-frames which determines the length of the test sequence.
