BEAST is a recursive acronym that stands for: BEAST is Experimental Approach to Structural Testing. The project contains several tools that implement experimental algorithms and models developed at DCS FIT BUT. These are:
| vhdl2zb | Converts structural VHDL to Zboril's binary files that are used as input for other tools. |
| disppart | Displays Zboril's binary files content in human readable format. |
| zb2ruz | Converts Zboril's binary files to Ruzicka's formal model and suggests partial scan candidates. |
| pwrest | Simulate the test application and evaluate the power consumption of the circuit during the test application in one of the supported simplified metrics. |
| permfind | Optimize the ordering of test vectors and scan cells in full scan chain (if any) to reduce power consumption during the test application. Also includes the power consumption simulator. |
Some deprecated tools were removed from the package.
The source code of all tools has been released under the GNU GPL version 3 or later and is available for download on the download page. Some binary builds are also available.
All tools have a built-in help with usage instructions. The Doxygen source code documentation is available in the source code package.
