In reply to debashis_paul:
Hi,
You can collect the functional coverage after sending the packet to the DUT. It need not to be after data integrity check.
Functional coverage mainly look for the input stimulus(All the corner/selected stimulus is provided or not).
The data integrity may fail, it does not mean that we should not sample that packet.
This is my understanding. Correct me if I am wrong…
Thanks & Regards,
