Abstract

The use of model checking to validate descriptions ofdigital systems lacks a coverage metrics. The set of provenproperties can be incomplete, thus not guaranteeing the behavioralchecking completeness of the digital system implementationwith respect to the specification. This paper proposesa coverage methodology based on a combination ofmodel checking, high-level fault simulation and automatictest pattern generation, to estimate the incompleteness of aset of formal properties. The adopted high-level fault modelallows to join dynamic and formal verification.
