i want t develop a software to test the memory chips in RAM memory module can any body told me what are the tests that we can perform. please guide me .
 

Generally this involves writing the data to the memory cell, reading it back and comparing the two values. If they match the cell is OK, else it is defective.
You can select various patterns for testing: the 55H, AAH pair tests each bit and then its complement.
You can also do what is called 'walking bit', that is set a bit to 1 and the rest zero and test the cell by writing/ reading back. Then shift the bit byone position and repeat the test. continue for the remaining bits in the cell.
Other possibilities... use your imagination.
