Boundary value testing using integrated circuit fault detection rule

Boundary value testing is a widely used functional test-ing approach. This paper presents a new boundary value selection approach by applying fault detection rules for in-tegrated circuits. Empirical studies based on Redundant Strapped-Down Inertial Measurement Unit (RSDIMU) of the 34 program versions and 426 mutants compare the new approach to the current boundary value testing methods. The results show that the approach proposed in this paper is remarkably effective in conquering test blindness, reduc-ing test cost and improving fault coverage
