Regarding the Compression Techiques in Design for testabilit

[kiranks9]

Hi All
Anybody worked on both DFTMAX(Synopsys) and TestCompressor(Mentor Graphics)? What exactly difference between both? what are the merits and demerits of both tool? Please let me know

The advertised strength is different between the two: the Mentor tool claims to be better at compressing many internal chains down to very few eternal chains, whereas the Synopsys tool claims to be better at catching small delay defects and being power-aware.
