Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 8, wherein:
step (a) includes:
(a-i) generating, based on the random or pseudo-random value, an initial target value for the working condition; and
(a-ii) incrementing or decrementing the working condition by a predetermined interval towards the initial target value, to generate the adjusted working condition;

step (b) includes: measuring a reaction of the hardware component to the adjusted working condition by the logic test circuit through processing data operations along the reference datapath; and
if no error is detected in step (c):
adopting the adjusted working condition and repeating steps (a-ii), (b), and (c); and

if the error is detected in step (c), or if the initial target value of the working condition has been reached, then step (d) further comprises:
repeating step (a-i) to generate a successive initial target value for the working condition, which is the modified working condition; and
repeating steps (a-ii), (b) and (c).
