A method for determining the percent fault detection coverage of a self-test software program and a method to improve the coverage are presented. These methods are applied to analyze a self-test software program used to check the functional operation of the BDX-910 minicomputer Central Processing Unit (CPU). The results of each analysis are presented. The concepts, tools, assumptions, requirements and constructs of each method are discussed.
