ABSTRACT:
In a method and system for testing a test sample (190), a simulation program (130) is used to augment test results provided by a legacy test system (101). The legacy test system (101) includes a measuring device (110) providing a test input (112) to the test sample (190) and receiving a test output (116) from the test sample (190) in response to the test input (112). The simulation program (130) simulates the test sample (190) by predicting a simulated output (134) of the test sample (190) in response to receiving a simulated input (132). A plurality of simulated failures is simulated in the simulation program (130), with each simulated failure generating a corresponding simulated output. The simulation program (130) includes a model (140) for the measuring device (110), the model (140) providing the simulated input (132). A comparator (160) compares the test output (134) with the simulated output (134) to determine a match. The simulated failure providing the match is used to predict a predicted failure location within the test sample (190).
