Question: In a test generation process for a combinational circuit six tests, t 1 , t 2 , t 3 , t 4 , t 5

In a test generation process for a combinational circuit six tests, t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, t6 are generated to cover a set of given faults. Later it is discovered that we are interested only in a subset of the faults and the subset consists of eight faults, f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8.
Though simulating the six tests for each of the faults (without fault dropping) we find the detection capability of each test as given below.
The test t1 can detect faults f3 and f5
The test t2 can detect faults f2 and f7
The test t3 can detect faults f2, f3, and f7
The test t4 can detect faults f1, f2, and f7
The test t5 can detect faults f4, and f6
The test t6 can detect faults f1, f4, f6 and f8.
Find a smallest set of tests that can detect all eight faults. You must show your work to prove that the set obtained by you is the smallest set. [CO2]
