Search Algorithms – Linear

The simplest search algorithm is linear. Here, the parameter will be

moved in fixed steps from a passing setting until a fail occurs or the

range of the search (user settings or tester capability imposed) is

If a functional test with the primary setting fails, no search will be

performed and you will receive a warning message. The test function

always reports the last pass value, the resolution of the result is the

same as the step size.

• will not miss anomalies as long as the step size is small

• setting of search range is not critical to how test is performed (and

how long it takes)

Disadvantages:

• can be very time-consuming if many steps are required to find a fail
