A March test consists of a finite sequence of March elements; while a March element is a finite sequence of operations applied to every cell in the memory array before proceeding to the next cell. For example, an operation can consist of writing a 0 into a cell, writing a 1 into a cell, reading an expected 0 from a cell, and reading an expected 1 from a cell. A failure is detected if the expected “1” is not read. The coverage level for linked cells depends on the write/read order.
