Abstract

This paper proposes a multi-criteria decision-making approach for guiding the postproduction test of reconfigurable hardware system (RHS). The latter is a hardware device that allows to change the hardware resources at runtime in order to modify the system functions and dynamically adapt the system to its environment. The optimization of the RHS postproduction test process is a matter of concern for manufacturers since the testing activities have a significant impact on achieving manufacturing objectives in relation to quality, cost and, time control. Taking into account the fact that testing all potential faults is infeasible in practice, the testing process hence needs to be optimized by prioritizing faults according to a well-defined set of criteria. Accordingly, multi-criteria decision-making tools prove their effectiveness in selecting faults to be tested. The proposed method consists in targeting a limited number of faults that require more attention during the testing process. Two strategies are investigated through the recourse to analytic hierarchy process and Choquet Integral. This study helps to determine the most critical faults that have the highest risk priority score. A case study is provided to illustrate the application of the proposed approach and to support the discussion.
