UVM message display commands offer great flexibility in printing of UVM messages, but their usage is frequently misunderstood. In fact, the first printings of two respected UVM texts released in 2013 either incorrectly describe UVM verbosity, incorrectly use UVM verbosity settings in examples, or both. Many new users incorrectly assume the built-in verbosity settings represent printing priority, but this is exactly backwards from reality. It is time to set the record straight, give a correct description of UVM verbosity and suggest important UVM verbosity usage guidelines. This sessions details strategies and guidelines for proper usage of UVM display commands.
