Intent:
The Resource Sharing Pattern is used to share resources between objects without requiring detailed knowledge of the resource. Related resources share common access attributes thereby creating simple associations.
Motivation:
A hierarchical simulation environment contains resources required by other components as well as test writers. A consistent mechanism for sharing resources promotes horizontal and vertical reuse. A simple mechanism that requires no knowledge of the simulation environment hierarchy eases the task of test and stimulus creation.
Applicability:
The Resource Sharing Pattern can be used when reusing verification components. It can also be used to reduce the overhead of adding test writers to a project.
