We present a Genetic algorithm (GA) based approach to solve the problems of Test Scheduling and Test Access Mechanism partition for System on Chips. The approach provides highly optimal results comparable to the Integer Linear Programming formulation of similar problems within very small CPU times. The results of GA based approach are shown to be superior to the heuristic approaches proposed in the literature.
