Bringing Regression Systems into the 21st Century

This paper will focus on an infrastructure created at Cypress to abstract away file list and metric gathering by providing a uniform front-end shell and back-end database, boosting predictability of testbench creation and metric tracking across multiple projects. Additionally, this paper will discuss various metrics collected and the use of Verification Run Manager (VRM) toolset in gathering metrics, tracking coverage and reducing test suites to quickly and efficiently obtain coverage goals.
