Logic built in self test circuitry for use in an integrated circuit with scan chains

Aspects include a method for logic built-in self-testing (LBIST) for use in an integrated circuit with scan chains. The method includes programming a product control generator and a pattern generator with an LBIST pattern comprising at least a number of loops. The LBIST pattern is executed by generating scan-in test values for scan chains with the pattern generator and controlling at least one test parameter with the product control generator. Scan-out responses are collected from the scan chains in a signature register, and a start request is received from a chip tester. The LBIST is started in response to the start request. Test summary data is reported to the chip tester before the whole number of loops has been executed.
