Portable VHDL Testbench Automation with Intelligent Testbench Automation
We've come a long way since digital designs were sketched as schematics by hand on paper and tested in the lab by wiring together discrete integrated circuits, applying generated signals and checking for proper behavior. Design evolved to gate-level on a workstation and on to RTL, while verification evolved from simple directed tests to directed random, constrained-random, and systematic testing
