Claim:
1. A computer program product for use with integrated circuit testing, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processor to: implement a first production test for testing at least one integrated circuit; analyze results of the first test, including differentiating between an integrated circuit with a recoverable fail and an integrated circuit with a non-recoverable fail; obtain an efficiency of additional testing from the analyzed results of the first test; segregate each integrated circuit based on the analysis; based on the obtained efficiency, implement a second production test responsive to the segregation, wherein the second test is implemented on each integrated circuit with a recoverable fail; and assess an accurate segregation of the integrated circuits, and replace the first production test with the second production test as a new test program for a next succeeding production lot of one or more integrated circuits based on the accurate segregation.
