   • Increase complexity
   • Enhance testability
   • Reduce quality

   Hint

   Consider what DFT stands for.

4. 4.

   True or False: DFT reduces the likelihood of defects reaching customers.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the benefits of early testing.

5. 5.

   Evaluate how the inclusion of testability features in a design can compromise performance in high-speed circuits.

   Hint

   Consider how every added component affects the circuit's speed.

6. 6.

   Propose a method to enhance testability without significantly increasing manufacturing costs.

   Hint

   Think about how modern technology can assist in this area.
