Overview:
We are in the midst of a verification crisis manifested by a growing gap between verification efficiency and effectiveness. This crisis cannot be solved through improvements in verification methodologies and techniques alone. Indeed, it requires a philosophical change in the way we approach design, with an emphasis on bug prevention. We refer to this fundamental change as design using intent-focused insight. This presentation reviews the impact of today’s verification crisis, identifies the fundamental problem contributing to this crisis, and then prescribes a solution.
