An integrated circuit ( 14 ) with an application circuit ( 1 ) to be tested and a self-testing circuit ( 5 - 13 ), which is provided for testing the application circuit ( 1 ) and generates pseudorandom test patterns, which can be transformed, by means of first logic gates ( 6, 7, 8 ) and signals externally fed to said gates, into deterministic test vectors, which are fed to the application circuit ( 1 ) for testing purposes, wherein the output signals occurring through the application circuit ( 1 ) as a function of the test patterns are evaluated by means of a signature register ( 13 ), wherein, by means of second logic gates ( 10, 11, 12 ) and signals fed to said gates, those bits of the output signals of the application circuit ( 1 ) which, due to the circuit structure of application circuit ( 1 ), have undefined states, are blocked during testing.
