It’s pretty typical to think about writing tests for a specific design. However, as the number of SoCs and SoC variants that a verification team is responsible for grows, creating tests that are specific to the design is becoming impractical. There has been a fair amount of innovation in this space recently. Some organizations are using design-configuration details to customize parameterized tests suites. Some have even gone as far as generating both the design and the test suite from the same description.
The emerging Accellera Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS) provides features that enable test writers to maintain a strong separation between test intent (the high-level rules bounding the test scenario to produce) and the design-specific
