A system for testing a logic circuit which has two or more test routine modules. Each module contains a set of instructions which is executable by (a part of) the logic circuit. The set forms a test routine for performing a self-test by the part of the logic circuit. The self-test includes the part of the logic circuit testing itself for faulty behaviour, and the part of the logic circuit determining a self-test result of the testing. The system includes a test module which can execute a test application which subjects the logic circuit to a test by performing the self-test on at least a part of the logic circuit by causes the part of the logic circuit to execute a selected test routine, and determining, by the test module, an overall test result at least based on a performed self-tests. The test module includes a control output interface for activates the execution of the a selected test routine. A second test module input interface can receive the self-test result from a selected test routine. At a test module output interface the overall test result may be outputted. The test routine includes instructions for outputting, by the part of the logic circuit, data to a test routine output interface which is not connected to the second test module input interface, for outputting information about the self-test result by the test routines without passing the information through the test module.
