    The Verification Academy is organized into a collection of free online courses, focusing on various key aspects of advanced functional verification. Each course consists of multiple sessions—allowing the participant to pick and choose specific topics of interest, as well as revisit any specific topics for future reference. After completing a specific course, the participant should be armed with enough knowledge to then understand the necessary steps required for maturing their own organization’s skills and infrastructure on the specific topic of interest. The Verification Academy will provide you with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of how to mature your organization’s processes so that you can then reap the benefits that advanced functional verification offers.

DAC 2016

The Verification Academy focuses on key aspects of advanced functional verification. At this year's DAC Booth, we've lined up a number of advanced functional verification sessions with industry subject matter experts.

For those of you not able to attend live, we recorded the sessions to make them available to all our members. You will need to login with your Full Access account to view or download the session video recordings and slides.

Verifying Safety-Related Systems

DAC 2016 | Verifying Safety-Related Systems

In this session, we will be covering the impact of safety standards on requirements: how they need to be defined; how they need to be managed; and how they need to be mapped to tests to demonstrate that they have been implemented correctly.
