In the paper, two different methodologies for the identification ofregisters to be included into the partial scan chain and principles oftheir implementation are described briefly. One of them is based on theutilisation of genetic algorithms, the other one on the identificationof feedback loops. An attention is paid to the computation of time andspace complexities of the developed algorithms. The possibility of thecomplete state-space exploration (all possible scan chainconfigurations) is also discussed. It is derived that algorithms basedon genetic algorithms allow to gain sub-optimal solutions whilefulfilling user requirements. The combination of both methodologies isinvestigated and the complexities analysed. Experimental results aredescribed.
