Abstract

From the Publisher:The Art of Verification with Vera covers the essential elements of VERA with detailed examples demonstrating how the VERA testbench tool and the OpenVera language can be harnessed to effectively verify different types of designs. It helps the reader understand critical verification issues and teaches how to expedite and enhance functional design verification.This book discusses a range of verification issues including test case identification, stimulus generation, results checking, test coverage and test regression. Theses concepts are used to develop a verification strategy and a VERA testbench for a common design. Each component of this testbench is discussed in detail to demonstrate the methodologies presented.Highlights include:Comprehensive discussion of verification strategies for complex System-on-a-chipdesigns.Identifying test cases and testbench components Strategies for stimulusgenerationMonitors and result-checking strategiesHow to Build complex testbenches with VeraUsing Veras classes to do automatic stimulus generators, transactors andmonitorsRun-time constraints with VeraA detailed testbench for the Ethernet MACPractical issues in ASIC VerificationTest space coverage versus code coveragevDebugging strategiesRegressions
