Memory testing is done by checking data integrity at randomly selected areas of the memory (addresses) with various test patterns, like walking through every single bit in ascending and descending order, random jumps, copying blocks of data as well as checkerboard patterns. The more addresses are tested and the more patters employed the better, but the longer it takes. After each test run a report is generated indicating a fault-free run or the faulty addresses.
