Abstract
Generally, a reconfigurable system is a component-based system that consists of several hardware and software components that are independently developed either on-site, or by third parties (Denaro et al. 2003). As a result, reconfigurable systems involve the ability to replace one or more component(s) of the Device-Under-Test (DUT), which permits new possible configurations that make the test process an expensive burden. Indeed, most of the existing test techniques are foiled by the assumption that the internal structure of the DUT is known with at least partial access to the source code (Bezerra et al. 2001)
