AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF TIMING CONSTRAINTS FOR THE VALIDATION/SIGNOFF OF TEST STRUCTURES

An apparatus comprising a database, an input module and a software tool. The database may be configured to generate one or more database files representing a design of an integrated circuit (IC). The input module may be configured to generate one or more test structures to test predetermined portions of the design of an IC. The software tool may be configured to automatically generate test scripts to verify timing constraints of the one or more test structures.
