    Abstract: A method of functionality testing system circuitry on an integrated circuit chip, the system circuitry comprising a plurality of sub-circuits and the integrated circuit chip further comprising debugging circuitry, the debugging circuitry comprising variability circuitry. The method comprises: at the system circuitry, performing a function by the sub-circuits performing concurrent actions; at the variability circuitry, altering relative timing of the concurrent actions so as to increase the likelihood of one or more errors in the system circuitry's performance of the function; and at the debugging circuitry, recording one or more errors in the system circuitry's performance of the function.
