Abstract

We present a control-ready architecture for the self-testing of objects implemented with programmable logical matrices. The new architecture has a number of advantages over known ones. For this architecture, we solve the assignment problem that arises when test suites arrive from the test generator to the tested parts of the object. We present the self-testing procedure in a programmable matrix.
