Hi,
when to use type override and instance override?. how we decide which one to use?
I think, you can do type override when you want to replace all the instances where a particular class is used.
But when you need to override one particular instance of a class then you can use override by instance.
One example where you might use override by instance,
The scenario is:
You have 3 SPI interface. Where each is connected to a particular device.
In this case, you would have SPI agent for each of this interface. Now the env is all built based on SPI Agent for all of these 3 with unique names.
For a particular test, you would want to add a few more contraints or add some error scenarios in the driver (for only 1 of the 3 agents), then you need to ovverride by instance. Similarly if this error scenario generation is valid for all 3 agents then you can use override by type.
in the above example,
is the spi agent is single class used with different handles in env?
