SoC测试要求在集成到更大的集成电路中时，重用为单个核（设计）开发的测试数据和测试结构。本标准定义的语言结构足以表示内存核心的上下文，以及将该内存核心集成到SoC中的上下文。这有助于开发和重用内存的测试和修复机制。本标准还定义了表示内存内核内部测试结构的构造，以便在创建内存内核外部逻辑的测试时重用。 为该语言定义语义规则，以促进创建SoC过程中涉及的不同实体（内存核心提供商、系统集成商和自动化工具开发人员）之间的互操作性。这些功能是IEEE标准1450.6（TM）-2005的扩展。由于这个扩展，CTLa？解决了计算机处理内存的局限性。

SoC test requires reuse of test data and test structures developed for individual cores (designs) when integrated into larger integrated circuits. This standard defines language constructs sufficient to represent the context of a memory core and of the integration of that memory core into an SoC. This facilitates the development and reuse of test and repair mechanisms for memories. This standard also defines constructs that represent the test structures internal to the memory core for reuse in the creation of the tests for the logic outside the memory core. Semantic rules are defined for the language to facilitate interoperability between different entities (the memory core provider, the system integrator, and the automation tool developer) involved in the creation of an SoC. The capabilities are an extension of IEEE Std 1450.6(TM)-2005. As a result of this extension, CTL's limitations of handling memories are addressed.
