"Skip the high-brow theories" is right
While looking for a digital testing textbook that was more accessible to students than the Abramovici "Digital Systems Testing and Testable Design" text, I came across this one and thought it would be the perfect answer. When my copy arrived I was sorely disappointed.If you need a book to introduce you to what the various testing techniques are, this book does a wonderful job! Its discussion will surely be useful to the typical test engineer. However, if you want to really understand HOW the design techniques work and how to optimize them, this book truly lives up to its claim of "Skip the high-brow theories and mathematical formulas" --- you will receive very little help in your endeavor. This book's usefulness depends on what your need is. In one case it is great; in another it is poor.

Pratical, easy to read, right to the point.
If the yellow DFT book is the blue print of circuit testing, then this book is the bolts and nuts. It outlines a good deal of state-of-art DFT problems in the industry, while staying away from rocket science (well, DFT science).As a DFT engineer, I recommend this book for anyone who wants to know what's going on in the DFT industry. One thing I found missing in this book is logic BIST. Maybe that means it's still not pratical to use logic BIST? :)
