A built-in self test (BIST) unit, of a primary integrated circuit (IC) component of a computer system, is programmed or hardwired with a test pattern. The test pattern is launched in multiple test cycles, to test an interconnect bus of the computer system or perform a device validation test of the component. A pin assignment of the pattern is automatically changed after each test cycle, without requiring re-programming of the BIST unit to do so.
