Methods and apparatus provide for testing an SRAM cell, the SRAM cell including an anti-parallel storage circuit operable to store a logic high or low value across a true node and a complementary node, where the true node and complementary node are coupled to a true bit line (BLT) and a complementary bit line (BLC), by first and second transistors, respectively, the method comprising: preventing a write driver circuit from significantly pulling the BLT towards a supply voltage; preventing a pre-charge circuit from significantly pulling the BLT towards the supply voltage; preventing the first transistor from significantly pulling the BLT towards the voltage stored in the SRAM cell; and comparing the voltage of the BLT under the foregoing conditions to a threshold voltage.
