A latch based memory device includes a plurality of latches and a method of testing the latch based memory device that includes serially connecting the latches with each other so as to form a shift register chain. A bit sequence is input into the shift register chain to shift the bit sequence through the shift register chain. A bit sequence is outputted and shifted through the shift register chain, and the input bit sequence is compared with the output sequence to evaluate the functionality of the latches in a first test phase and to test the remaining structures of the latch based memory device in a second test phase by using, e.g., a conventional scan test approach.
