The architecture by which data is moved from the EDA to Testability environment involves two key translation steps. The diagram below shows a generalized overview of the two-step process. Depending on a customers needs, the deployment scenario may vary.
Testability, when taken to its full extent, involves more than just the assessment practices used to analyze the inherent diagnostic capabilities of a given system. Testability's biggest impact comes from incorporating a design influence process, hopefully throughout the entire development. Regardless of the extent to which design influence is realized, the link from the Testability Environment back to EDA is an important one.

The most common changes to the EDA design as an influence of discoveries made through Testability Analysis is that of test point placement. There are also system-level recommendations that filter down to the EDA environment such as redundancy and implementation approach.

DSI's eXpress teamed with E-Tools E-Studio now provides the capability to transition analysis data with design data in either direction.
