A digital logic test method for systematically testing a
pipeline-structured integrated circuit chip is disclosed. The method
includes the steps of: providing an integrated circuit chip capable of
executing a plurality of instructions during a period of time, each of
the instructions being executed according to a plurality of sequentially
ordered operation segments, sorting the instructions, and designing a
plurality of test patterns to test the integrated circuit according to
the sorting result and STAGE test segments corresponding to the STAGE
operation segments.
