DFT Basics FAQs

The document outlines the fundamentals of Design for Testability (DFT), including its necessity, testing levels, and definitions of key concepts such as testability, yield, and various testing strategies. It discusses the differences between RTL and gate-level netlists, as well as the importance of observability and controllability in DFT. Additionally, it covers various testing methodologies, challenges in DFT with technology node changes, and the significance of testing chips.
