The UVM promotes two different kinds of reuse: vertical and horizontal. Vertical reuse is within the same project. You start with lower level unit testbenches and integrate the same components as you build up your system-level testbench. Horizontal reuse is from project to project. The general ass…

Thanks Dave for your response. Regarding the inheritance in horizontal reusability. Do you agree that we need to have a careful definition and implementation of classes and components to achieve that? If we define our components poorly, even though the next project is similar, we won’t be able to r…

Yes, it will take some experience to understand the best way to incorporate horizontal reuse. A couple of links you might want to look at.: [image] SV Interface classes in UVM based environment UVM Hello, Is there any paper or example that uses SV interface classes in a…
