Comprehensive TIM Coverage Analysis on Lidded Flip Chip Package Using SAM and Digital Microscopy

Numerous publications and technical papers have investigated thermal interface materials (TIMs) and the optimized use of TIMs and heat sinks for thermal management in integrated circuit (IC). Several of these studies employ scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM), which is widely recognized as a highly effective, non-dest...

Parametric Laser Mapping (PLM): A Fault Isolation Solution for Analog Soft Failure

Conventional dynamic laser stimulation (DLS) relies on binary pass/fail detection and sequential single-parameter analysis, which limits sensitivity, efficiency, and robustness when applied to analog soft failures. This paper presents Parametric Laser Mapping (PLM), a boundary-free fault isolation technique that cont...

IterTestQ: Assembly-Level, Cross-Platform Testing of Quantum Computing Platforms

Quantum computing platforms are susceptible to quantum-specific bugs, such as incorrectly ordering qubits or incorrectly implementing quantum abstractions. These bugs are difficult to detect and require specialized expertise. The field faces challenges due to a fragmented landscape of platforms and rapid development cy...

Testing Method Relocation Algorithms via Template-Based Systematic Structural Traversal and Precondition Filtering

Method relocation refactorings, primarily Move Method and Pull Up/Push Down Method, are indispensable for reducing coupling and enhancing cohesion. Despite their widespread automation in modern refactoring engines, these algorithms remain notoriously error-prone, posing significant risks to software reliability. A prim...

Signal Denoising Based Kill Matrix Refinement for Mutation-Based Fault Localization

Software debugging is a critical and time-consuming aspect of software development, with fault localization being a fundamental step that significantly impacts debugging efficiency. Mutation-Based Fault Localization (MBFL) has gained prominence due to its robust theoretical foundations and fine-grained analysis capabil...

A Language Approach to Fine-Grained Microarchitectural Observation

Analyzing, understanding, and validating the performance of modern processors present significant challenges. These stem from two primary issues. First, it is difficult to construct “performance tests” that can test precisely scoped hypotheses about microarchitectural behavior. Second, it is difficult to make sense of...

(This Is Not a Paper about) Mutation Driven Development

Test driven development (TDD) is a controversial and interesting approach to software development; while many think of better tests as a primary purpose of TDD, in practice the goal is as much to use tests to encourage continued progress in coding. That goal however rests on the notion that TDD ensures tests are good e...
