Which tools are typically used for boundary scan insertion? What are all the stages during design flow at which boundary scan can be inserted?
 
The DFT structures are inserted usually by the synthesis tool, so Genus for Cadence and Design Compiler for Synopsys. The typical flow is to get a first synthesis to pass. Then you go adding the DFT commands until you get it like you want. This includes boundary scan, regular scan chain, MBIST, perhaps LBIST, and perhaps a JTAG IP. The tool does create some files that will be used by the P&R too.
