A method for testing integrated circuits is provided. The method provides for incorporating compression and decompression logic into each sub-component of an integrated circuit, developing test modes that target different sub-components of the integrated circuit, selecting one of the test modes, applying a test pattern to one or more sub-components of the integrated circuit targeted by the one test mode, comparing a response from application of the test pattern to a known good response, and diagnosing the response to determine which part of the one or more sub-components targeted by the one test mode failed when the response does not match the known good response.
