You get the final chip back from the FAB. Now you do the smoke test(power up). Hopefully assuming that things are well (your chip does not go up in smoke) you do the first actual test of data using a sample and a simple test case. Unfortunately the chip does not seem to function as you it is intended to.
How do you know if your chip has a setup time or a hold time problem?
