Logic synthesis of reversible circuits has become an important problem because of its relevance to the emerging area of quantum computation. Special types of quantum gates such as k-CNOT may be deployed to implement a reversible circuit. Although the classical stuck-at fault model is widely used for modeling defects in conventional CMOS circuits, new approaches, namely single missing-gate fault (SMGF), repeated-gate fault (RGF), partial missing-gate fault (PMGF), and multiple missing-gate fault (MMGF), have been found to be more befitting for modeling defects in quantum k-CNOT gates. This article presents an algorithm to derive a test set (TS) for detection of multiple missing-gate faults in a reversible circuit implemented with k-CNOT gates. It is shown that TS is sufficient to detect all single missing-gate faults (SMGFs) and all detectable repeated gate faults (RGFs). Experimental results on test set for some benchmark circuits are reported, which compare favorably with earlier findings.
