#152957 - Simple tests use loopbacks
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Simple BIST (built in self test), if it is even applicable at all which is a discussion that can go on for a long time, can most economically implemented by using loop-back of spare resources.

Here are some examples:
a - use a spare A/D channel to monitor some analogue parameter of your system.

b - use a spare D/A to test an channel of your A/D or offset the signal of an already used channel in a predictable way.

c - connect spare inputs to in-use logical outputs and diddle the outputs and check the inputs for expected behavior.

d - use a spare output to gate UART output to UART input and do a serial wrap test.
