Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 10:
11. A verification method for a semiconductor device that is mass- produced, the verification method comprising:
generating, by a test apparatus, a plurality of verification vectors for the semiconductor device; and
verifying, by the test apparatus, the semiconductor device by using at least one verification vector,
wherein generating of the plurality of verification vectors further comprises:
inputting a test vector to a circuit block included in the semiconductor device;
generating at least one reward according to a change in a coverage corresponding to the test vector, the coverage being determined based on a state transition of the circuit block based on the test vector;
changing the test vector based on the at least one reward; and
determining whether to determine the changed test vector as one of the plurality of verification vectors.
