\subsection{Test Cases Analysis in detail}
The purpose of this circuit is to switch a resistance in when we want to test the circuit
and to switch it out for normal operation.
The control is provided by a line called $\overline{TEST\_LINE}$.
Thus to apply the test conditions we set $\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ to OFF or false
and to order normal operation we set it to ON or true.
\subsubsection{TC 1}
This test case looks at the shorted resistor failure mode of R36.
\paragraph{$\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ ON}
Here TR1 should be off and R36 should be in series. As R36 is shorted, this means that
no resistance will be contributed to the circuit by R36.
In the terms of the behaviour
of the functional group, this means that it will provide no test effect.
\paragraph{$\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ OFF}
Here TR1 will be on and by-pass R36, so it does not make any difference if
R36 is shorted. This is a dormant failure, we can only detect this failure
when $\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ is ON.
\subsubsection{TC 2}
This test case looks at the open circuit resistor failure mode of R36.
\paragraph{$\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ ON}
Here TR1 should be off and R36 should be in series. As R36 is open, this means that
the test circuit is no open.
In the terms of the behaviour
of the functional group, this means that it will cause an open circuit failure.
\paragraph{$\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ OFF}
Here TR1 will be on and by-pass R36, so it does not make any difference if
R36 is open. This is a dormant failure, we can only detect this failure
when $\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ is ON.
\subsubsection{TC 3}
This test case looks at the transistor failure mode where TR1 is always ON.
\footnote{The transistor is being used as a switch, and so we can model it as having two failure modes ALWAYS ON or ALWAYS OFF.}
\paragraph{$\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ ON}
Here TR1 should be off and R36 should be in series. As TR1 is always ON, this means that
R36 will always be by-passed. Thus there will be no test effect.
\paragraph{$\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ OFF}
Here TR1 should be on and by-pass R36.
This is a dormant failure, we can only detect this failure
when $\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ is ON.
\subsubsection{TC 4}
This test case looks at the transistor failure mode where TR1 is always OFF.
\paragraph{$\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ ON}
Here TR1 should be OFF and R36 should be in series.
This is a dormant failure, we can only detect this failure
\paragraph{$\overline{TEST\_LINE}$ OFF}
Here TR1 should be ON, but is OFF due to failure.
The resistance R36 will always be in series.
As a symptom for this circuit, it means that there would be no test effect.
