Provided are methods and devices of organizing scan chains in an integrated circuit. One method comprises generating first preference information representing prioritized listing of a plurality of scanning elements for each of a plurality of scan chains based on a first criterion, generating second preference information representing prioritized listing of the plurality of scan chains for each of the plurality of scanning elements based on a second criterion and at a computing device, assigning each of the plurality of the scanning elements to one of the plurality of the scan chains based on the first preference information and the second preference information. |
