    The Verification Academy is organized into a collection of free online courses, focusing on various key aspects of advanced functional verification. Each course consists of multiple sessions—allowing the participant to pick and choose specific topics of interest, as well as revisit any specific topics for future reference. After completing a specific course, the participant should be armed with enough knowledge to then understand the necessary steps required for maturing their own organization’s skills and infrastructure on the specific topic of interest. The Verification Academy will provide you with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of how to mature your organization’s processes so that you can then reap the benefits that advanced functional verification offers.

What’s New in Functional Verification from Mentor - Spring 2020

Just like time and the tides, the complexity of electronic systems, and the need to verify that they will function correctly, wait for no one. Without a comprehensive suite of verification tools that evolves to fit the needs of this inexorable growth, it would quickly become impossible for you to do your job. This 5-hour series of short product-focused webinars will show you how Mentor’s suite of Functional Verification tools continues to deliver productivity enhancements in all aspects verification to keep you ahead of the curve.

Functional Verification has always been a multifaceted problem, requiring different tools to address different aspects of the problem. The key to productivity is a unified suite of tools with complementary capabilities to make it easier and quicker for you to apply the latest technologies to get your verification job done. This web seminar series will provide a comprehensive overview of Mentor’s Functional Verification tools and show how each tool has been optimized to find bugs as early in the verification process as possible.
