Summary:PURPOSE:To correctly locate a fault position without receiving influence of a hazard, etc., by inserting at least one logic fault in logic data which is inputted into a logic integrated circuit. CONSTITUTION:An output value reflecting a fault intentionally made for every test pattern is recorded in a test pattern file 2. Thereafter, the comparison process is carried out, which collate the output expected value at the input time of the normal logic data recorded in a test pattern file 1, the output value of fault simulation recorded in the test pattern file 2 and reflecting the fault intentionally set up, and a test result 3 with one another. Further, an inversion part where the output expected value changes and the number of fail pins recorded in the file 3 are compared with each other and the result is output as a comparison result 6. It is accurately specified that the part of the fault F intentionally made is a true fault candidature in the case both agree in the comparison result 6.
