While the disciplines of functional verification and test serve different purposes, their histories were once closely intertwined. Recent safety and security monitoring requirements coupled with ...

Functional verification can cost as much as design, but new capabilities are piling onto an already stressed verification methodology, leaving solutions fragmented and incomplete. In a perfect world, ...

To test complex devices, test engineers must rely on the vector sets generated by verification engineers. Unfortunately, verification engineers—who work in a software simulation environment—often have ...
