UVM 1.1c Class Reference

Resource (Reference Documentation) - Sep 19, 2012 by

v1.1c The UVM Class Library provides the building blocks needed to quickly develop well-constructed and reusable verification components and test environments in SystemVerilog. This UVM Class Reference provides detailed reference information for each user-visible class in the UVM library. For additional information on using UVM, see the UVM User’s Guide located in the top level directory within the UVM kit.

Siemens EDA has Accellera's Latest Standard Covered

Article - Jun 15, 2012 by Darron May

If you can't measure something, you can't improve it. For years, verification engineers have used "coverage" as a way to measure completeness of the verification effort. Of course, there are many types of coverage, from different types of code coverage to functional coverage, as well as many tools, both dynamic and static, that provide coverage information.
Is Intelligent Testbench Automation For You?

Article - Jun 15, 2012 by Mark Olen

Intelligent Testbench Automation (iTBA) is being successfully adopted by more verification teams every day. There have been multiple technical papers demonstrating successful verification applications and panel sessions comparing the merits to both Constrained Random Testing (CRT) and Directed Testing (DT) methods. Technical conferences including DAC, DVCon, and others have joined those interested in better understanding this new technology.
Automated Generation of Functional Coverage Metrics for Input Stimulus

Article - Jun 15, 2012 by Mike Andrews - Siemens EDA

Questa inFact allows for graphical definition of the coverage goals and can, with the 10.1 release, automatically generate SystemVerilog covergroups from this definition, including the exclusions needed to accurately represent the achievable coverage. This article describes how this capability can simplify the definition of more comprehensive stimulus coverage metrics.
