Abstract

Since analog systems play an essential role in modern equipment, test strategy optimization for analog systems has attracted extensive attention in both academia and industry. Although many methods exist for the implementation of effective test strategies, diagnosis for analog systems suffers from the impacts of various stresses due to sophisticated mechanism and variable operational conditions. Consequently, the generated solutions are impractical due to the systems’ topology and influence of information redundancy. Additionally, independent tests operating sequentially on the generated strategies may increase the time consumption. To overcome the above weaknesses, we propose a novel approach called heuristic programming (HP) to generate a mixture of test strategies. The experimental results prove that HP and Rollout-HP access the strategy with fewer layers and lower cost consumption than state-of-the-art methods. Both HP and Rollout-HP provide more practical strategies than other methods. Additionally, the cost consumption of the strategy based on HP and Rollout-HP is improved compared with those of other methods because of the updating of the test cost and adaptation of mixture OR nodes. Hence, the proposed HP and Rollout-HP methods have high efficiency.
