1. A system, comprising:

  • a library module comprising a plurality of programmable components and at least one corresponding test case for each programmable component;

    a configurator module coupled to the library module and accessing at least one of the plurality of programmable components and the at least one corresponding test case, the configurator module further outputting a code describing a processor for running a software-defined digital signal processor and including the accessed programmable component and a plurality of interconnections linking the accessed programmable component; and

    a test case generator coupled to the configurator module to output a test suite including the at least one corresponding test case for each accessed programmable component and a plurality of interconnect tests to test the plurality of interconnections linking the accessed programmable component;

    wherein the test suite is optimized to avoid duplication of testing of interconnections and control registers.
