Integrated circuit with an application circuit ( 1 ) to be tested, and a self-test circuit ( 5 - 16 ) which is provided for testing the application circuit ( 1 ) and comprises an arrangement ( 5 - 9 ) for generating desired test patterns which are applied to the application circuit ( 1 ) for test purposes, wherein the output signals occurring in dependence upon the test patterns through the application circuit ( 1 ) are evaluated by means of a signature register ( 13 ), the arrangement ( 5 - 9 ) for generating the desired test patterns comprising a bit modification circuit ( 9 ) which individually controls first control inputs of combination logics ( 6, 7, 8 ) in such a way that a pseudo-random sequence of test patterns supplied by a shift register is modified such that, by approximation, the desired test patterns are obtained, and which controls second control inputs of the combination logics ( 6, 7, 8 ), by means of which the first control inputs can be blocked, such that those test patterns that are supplied by the shift register ( 5 ) and are already desired test patterns are not modified by the bit modification circuit ( 9 ) by means of controlling the first control inputs of the combination logics ( 6, 7, 8 ).
