Let's say that we want to do a good job of testing this, but without going through the entire 2^32 space of possible operands. (It is not possible for such adder to have such a bug that it only affects a single combination of operands, requiring an exhaustive search of the 2^32 space, so it is inefficient to test it that way.)
If the individual adders are working correctly, and the ripple propagation between them works correctly, then it is correct.
I would giver priority to some test cases which focus on stressing the carry rippling, since the adders have been individually tested.
My first test case would be adding 1 to 1111..1111 which causes a carry out of every bit. The result should be zero, with a carry out of the highest bit.
(Every test case should be tried over both commutations: A + B and B + A, by the way.)
The next set set of test cases would be adding 1 to various "lone zero" patterns like 011...111, 1011...11, 110111..111, ..., 1111110. The presence of a zero should "eat" the carry propagation correctly at that bit position, so that all bits in the result which are lower than that position are zero, and all higher bits are 1 (and, of course, there is no final carry out of the register).
Another set of test cases would add these "lone 1" power-of-two bit patterns to various other patterns: 000...1, 0000...10, 0000...100, ..., 1000..000. For instance, if this is added to the operand 1111.1111, then all bits from that bit position to the left should clear, and all the bits below that should be unaffected.
Next, a useful test case might be to add all of the 16 powers of two (the "lone 1" vectors), as well as zero, to each of the 65536 possible values of the opposite operand (and of course, commute and repeat).
Finally, I would repeat the above two "lone 1" tests with "lone 11": all bit patterns which have 11 embedded in 0's, in all possible positions. This way we are hitting the situations that each adder is combining two 1 bits and a carry, requiring it to produce 1 and carry out 1.
The figure on the right of your image is the carry of one bit position. Given a wordlength of \$n\$ bits and position \$i\$, the carry \$c_{i+1}\$ goes to the exact same circuit, just with inputs \$x_{i+1}\$, \$y_{i+1}\$ and \$c_{i+1}\$. So to calculate the carry of the total summation \$c_{n+1}\$ the signal takes \$2 \cdot t_{Gate-Delay}\$ times the number of bits: \$2 \cdot n \cdot t_{Gate-Delay}\$
Since the sum \$s_i\$ is calculated using two \$XOR\$-Gates it needs \$2 \cdot t_{Gate-Delay}\$ as cascading \$XOR\$-Gates is done by put them one ofter another, so calculating \$s_n\$ also takes \$2 \cdot n \cdot t_{Gate-Delay}\$.
Best Answer
The addition of each A and B can start in the first XOR gate without the carry being valid. However, propagation of the correct value to S needs the carry input valid, and then some further time for the propagation of the second XOR gate.
You simply have to add up all the gates that the signal has to pass through, in series, add up all the delays, and take the worst case, for the propagation delay of the entire circuit.
