Verification teams don't typically verify testbench components. But this Qualcomm Technologies IP team realized the necessity of unit testing a critical testbench component and the corresponding debug time and frustration it could prevent for downstream IP and chip teams.
This experience report documents the team's first time unit testing with SVUnit, from start to finish. We discuss the justification made with managers to have engineers assigned, how to pick the right test subject to ensure a positive outcome, the method used for verifying testbench checkers, component defect rate, framing unit testing and the defects found as opportunities for improvement and lessons learned for long term maintenance. The focus of the test
