Assertions and assertion IP (AIP) are a core part of the register transfer level (RTL) verification environment for all modern chip development projects. Assertions can be considered as statements of ...
When unit tests fail, they should clearly explain why. Take advantage of the Fluent Assertions library to write unit test methods that are simple, readable, concise, and expressive. Unit testing is an ...
It is well documented and widely agreed that assertions can provide a tremendous benefit to design and verification teams by reducing and even eliminating debug – but their use is still not ubiquitous ...
Recent assertion-standardization achievements hold the promise of improving verification efficiency and allowing formal verification to work with simulation. There are tools that support assertion ...
System-on-chip design introduces new problems to the design and verification process. Not only must designers deal with the sheer size of these designs, but they must also deal with a reduction in ...
As ASICs continue to grow in size and complexity, traditional verification techniques relying on procedural testbench languages are no longer sufficient. Stimulus generation needs to be further ...
